Have you ever noticed that the moment you start to feel that ache for something more, you suddenly get "busy" being who everyone else needs you to be? In this episode, we're exploring why playing the role everyone expects can feel safer than showing up as who you really are - and what it's actually costing you.

I'll share the science behind why your nervous system chooses busyness over authenticity, walk you through the most common patterns of "productive avoidance" (you'll probably recognize yourself in at least one!), and give you a simple grounding practice to help you interrupt the cycle.

If you've been wondering why you can never just be still, or if you're tired of living for everyone else's comfort instead of your own authenticity, this episode is for you. Because every time you choose to be who everyone else wants you to be, you're paying a price you might not even realize.
