Imperfect But Worth It
This podcast is for anyone learning to be self-aware, rewire their brain, and wondering, “Am I actually crazy for thinking this?” (spoiler: you’re not). I talk about real triggers, ugly thoughts, and spirals—like when my boyfriend suggested I see a friend, and my brain whispered, he has a secret agenda (he doesn’t).I spent years Googling my hyper-specific problems, desperate to feel less alone. Now, I’m sharing my unfiltered journey—because I don't want you to feel alone. Join me in navigating discomfort and doing the mental reps to change and live a truly authentic, liberated life. Xo, B.

When busyness becomes a distraction from yourself and the fear of not knowing 23.06.2025 34:56
I sit down with the uncomfortable truth that I’ve been trying to outrun: I don’t really know what I want right now. And instead of slowing down to listen, I’ve been filling the space with busyness—movies, to-do lists, tagging along to other people’s plans. Inspired by Gabor Maté’s In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts , I explore how busyness can become its own form of addiction, a way to avoid the discom...
The comparison loop: why pretty girls make me feel small, why "it girl" aesthetics drive me insane, and how to free yourself from all this bullsh*t! 20.06.2025 35:24
Why do we shrink around certain women? Why do we feel threatened when we see someone else glowing? In this deeply imperfect and very human episode, I unpack a raw conversation I had with a friend about the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways comparison, judgment, and insecurity show up — especially between women. From bathroom run-ins that trigger high school memories, to walking down the st...
The importance of tuning into your body to become more secure and self-loving 19.06.2025 30:25
✨ I'm baaaaack! Here's a little life update & some thoughts on being human lately. I talk about what it means to start creative projects without having a clear roadmap — just presence, honesty, and a gut feeling that it matters. I share how tuning into the body (somatics!) is helping me build self-trust, compassion, and regulation, especially in moments of insecurity or transition. I...

Hi y'all, in today's episode, I share a recent trigger that affected me... seeing my boyfriend’s ex was at his mom’s birthday party.

4: Stuck? Start anyways. Create before you're ready. 10.02.2025 30:16
You want to do something more. You feel the pull to create, to express yourself, to build something that feels true to you. But doubt creeps in. Where do you start? What if it’s not good enough? What if you fail? In this episode, I reflect on an interview I heard with Rick Rubin, author of the Creative Act, and how his wisdom on creativity collides with my own struggles—comparison, perfectionism,...

Real talk—I was editing this episode while getting ready to meet a friend, and for a second, I forgot I was listening to myself. I just thought, Damn, I needed to hear this. And maybe you do too. Lately, I’ve been feeling reactive, insecure, stuck in comparison, and judging myself way too harshly. It’s exhausting. But this conversation reminded me of something powerful: I don’t have to let those f...
