Episode 1: Welcome to The High Functioning Hot Mess ✨
In this first episode, I’m sharing the heart behind this podcast — why I created it, who it’s for, and how my own messy healing journey brought me here.
If you’re craving gentleness, nuance, and honest conversations about healing, nourishment, sensitivity, and simply being human… you’re in the right place.
This episode sets the tone for everything to come: soft, grounded, real. A place where we tell the truth about how complex healing can be, while also allowing ourselves to romanticize the journey when it feels supportive.
