Hey hey beautiful human! One question for you: When did enjoying something become something I need permission for? When did hobbies turn into something that needs to be productive? When did doing things just because they make me happy become frivolous or selfish?
Women who can't watch a show without folding laundry at the same time. Women who've turned every hobby into a side hustle because they can't justify doing something unless it's "productive." Women who can't spend an hour on a creative project without feeling like they're being selfish.
So today, we're talking about why you feel guilty doing things you actually enjoy - and more importantly, how to stop.
What I discuss:
The Productivity Guilt Epidemic
Why Joy Feels Selfish (Even When You're Depleted)
The Permission to Do Things Just Because They Make You Happy
How to Reclaim Hobbies Without Justifying Them
