The Version of Me I Was Trying to Outrun
About this episode
Maci Jones shares her journey of self-acceptance and the struggles of balancing extremes in her life.
In this episode, I get vulnerable about the five years it took to stop running from myself. From being the girl who said yes to everything — the drinks, the late nights, the validation from men — to overcorrecting into rigid routines, isolation, and perfectionism, I share what it actually looked like to swing between two extremes and call it growth. This one is raw, honest, and for anyone who has ever felt like they were performing a version of themselves just to survive the week. What we talk about: The all-or-nothing mindset and why it kept showing up in every area of her life What "the girl who said yes to everything" was really chasing How the overcorrection looked healthy from the outside but wasn't Over-exercising, undereating, and what she learned from it Why neither version of her was actually healed The girl in between — who she's becoming, and why it's still a work in progress Follow: Personal IG: @macileejones Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat
