The Pressure to "Have it All Together"

The North Star ·

2025/09/17

Hi sweets, this episode is all about the pressure that so many (if not everyone at some point in their life) feel to "have their sh*t together."

But also, even if you work in any other industry, you've probably felt this too. I

Hi angels, this episode is recorded in real real time — just a few minutes ago! We start with a bit of a life update, then get into the topic at hand: romanticizing your past.
