In this solo catch-up, I’m giving you a life and mindset update from changing my Instagram handles to finally breaking through a running plateau that had me feeling stuck for months For the heart of the episode I share how pouring into activities outside of work, social media, and my relationship transformed my anxiety into confidence. I break down how hobbies helped me learn to like myself again—and why that made my relationship with myself and Jake even stronger. Plus, I answer some of your juicy listener questions: If your boyfriend’s parents help pay for the engagement ring…is that in or out? How to stay independent while living at home in your 20s? Meeting the fam for the first time—what to bring? Long-distance communication: how much is too much?
