Season 2 EPS 8: Things will get Better (even when it feels like it won't)

About this episode

This episode discusses personal growth and coping with overwhelming life changes.

This episode is a candid conversation about growth, change, and those moments when life feels overwhelming. I open up about a time when I didn’t want to be here anymore, and how things slowly started to feel lighter again. I talk about what a growth mindset actually means, how to deal with change (like moving, losing people, and outgrowing old versions of yourself), and why things don’t stay this heavy forever. If you’re struggling right now or going through a change in life right now, this is for you. content warning: mentions of suicidal thoughts IG: olivia.merryweather IG: grounded.conversations
