About this episode

This episode discusses how to embrace main character energy in everyday life despite responsibilities and challenges.

#82: Main character energy sounds cute… until your day feels like one long to-do list and you’re just trying to keep up. In this episode, we’re bringing this trend back down to earth and showing you what it actually looks like in real life, when you have responsibilities, a full calendar, and still want to feel like you. This isn’t about having it all together. It’s about: walking into a room like you belong there romanticizing the real, everyday moments and speaking to yourself with a little more respect Because somewhere along the way, we stop being the main character… and become the manager of everyone else’s life. Consider this your reminder: you’re not the extra in your own story. Follow us on Instagram Watch us on YouTube This podcast is sponsored by Nordic Wave.
