S5 Ep 18The REAL Reason Progress Isn't Making You Feel Better w Annalie Howling
🚨 Trigger Warning: This episode includes a discussion of self-harm. Please take care while listening. You’re doing everything right — checking the boxes, reaching your goals, and growing on paper. But deep down, something still feels off. Why doesn’t the progress stick? Why does every achievement feel good… but only for a moment? In this episode, we uncover how shame often hides beneath the surface of high achievement — quietly driving your need to succeed, be the “good girl,” or live up to others’ expectations. 🔑 We cover: * How shame subtly drives high achievers without them realising it * Why your wins don’t land the way you thought they would * The pressure to be the “good girl” — and what it’s costing you * What to do when your identity no longer feels like it fits * Friendship breakups, saying no, and reclaiming space for the real you If you’ve ever felt like your life looks perfect but doesn’t feel like yours, this conversation will help you reconnect with the version of you that feels truly aligned. 💭 You might not even realise shame is the root — but if your progress feels empty or fleeting, this might be your missing piece.

S3 Ep 21Self growth challenge: Become your best self in 21 days
It's challenge o'clock! Our focus for the next 21 days? Becoming your best self through finding habits that are going to create the most balance and impact in your daily life. The reason I wanted to throw you a challenge with varied habits, is because we often get stuck in the same routines and rarely stop to consider habits that are no longer serving us or experiment with habits that could make a world of difference in our day, week, and ultimately life! The idea isn’t to adopt EVERY single thing you try, it’s to notice what really creates the most impact on your energy and overall enjoyment of life and consider making space for that in your routine - after all, these habits will be best felt after consistent use (now we are just finding them)!
