About this episode

Elicia discusses how to stop viewing life as a productivity contest and the role of self-development as a coping mechanism.

Hi my loves 🦋 In today's episode, we talk about how to stop making your entire life a productivity contest and how self-development & productivity can become a coping mechanism. I touch on setting myself free through therapy and journaling, being real with myself about how I feel intuitively, and changing my energy/mindset through the power of words.
