In this solo episode, Lindsey gives us permission to hit pause on our self-improvement journeys from time to time. She talks about periods of her life where she “self-helped” a little too hard and why it’s crucial to give yourself a break. For our Type A hunnies, you definitely want to tune in!

Ahead, Lindsey reveals how social media and endless self-help resources can lead to burnout and self-criticism, rather than true healing. She lays out practical tips for setting boundaries with self-help content and embracing activities that bring simple joy.

If you've been feeling guilty about not doing "enough" or constantly comparing yourself to others, this episode will completely shift your perspective on what it means to truly grow. Learn how moments of stillness and presence can be just as transformational as all the work you're putting in.

We also talk about:

  • Signs that you might need a break from self-help
  • The idea of feeling perpetually inadequate
  • Finding joy and gratitude in the little things
  • Setting boundaries with your self-help intake
  • The beauty of integrating lessons learned into everyday life
  • Experimenting with a "therapy break" and how to approach it
  • Activities that bring joy to your inner child
  • The importance of relationships that foster presence + silliness
