Ep. 155: When “I’m Fine” Isn’t Working Anymore: How to Finally Hear What You Need
Manage episode 485462751 series 3554576
We all say it:
“I’m fine.”
“I’m just tired.”
“I just need to get through this week.”
But what if “fine” is really a mask?
A script we’ve learned to repeat—especially in midlife—when we’re stretched thin, running on autopilot, and quietly falling apart behind the scenes?
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the disconnect so many women feel beneath the surface… even when life looks “fine” on the outside. We’ll talk about the habits we reach for (like wine, scrolling, or overworking), not to judge them—but to understand what they’re really doing for us.
This is not about fixing or quitting.
It’s about noticing.
It’s about getting honest.
It’s about finally listening to yourself again.
If you've ever found yourself saying “I’m fine” when you're anything but… this one’s for you.
