What if the thing you thought was saving you… was also holding you back?
When Em broke her foot earlier this year, she was forced to slow down, and what she found in the stillness changed everything. In this deeply personal solo episode, she shares the moment that made her reevaluate what she was chasing, why she chose to stop taking Xanax after 15 years, and how her dogs helped her redefine peace in a way that finally feels like home.
🎧 In this episode:– How Em’s injury created the space for a massive emotional reset
– What led to the decision to stop taking Xanax, and the fear that came with it
– A vulnerable look at how Fitz mirrored her internal chaos
– What peace looks like now, from her nervous system to her routines
– Why imperfection, presence, and honesty are more powerful than “having it together”
This is the episode for anyone who’s tired of performing, tired of fixing, and just wants to feel safe in their own body again.
If you're in the messy middle, this one's for you 💛
