Episode #38 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast.
Join me, Alessandra, as I open up about my desire not to film today and my futile addiction to perfectionism (always to my own detriment). I also give my own spin on the notion that the grass is not greener on the other side and how social media makes me feel behind and depressed.
It's really an ode to the idea that there's nothing more hollow than fulfilling someone else's dreams.
So, listen to this pod -- and then go get those dreams, girl! [or guy, ambition don't discriminate here] !!
