The Art of Unlearning

Education EN ↓ 20 episodes

This podcast is for the woman who’s successful on paper… and quietly overwhelmed in private. We don’t do toxic positivity, “just manifest it,” or productivity cosplay. We talk about what actually drives your patterns—stress physiology, emotional avoidance, perfectionism, nervous system dysregulation, and identity shifts—and how to change your life from the inside out without nuking your ambition. Think: big-sister honesty, practical systems, and the kind of clarity that makes your next move obvious.
