POTH | Psychology of The Heart PodcastBONUS - Stop Running from Yourself: If the Grass Is Greener Over There… Why Are You Still Here?If the grass is greener over there… why are you still here? What happens when we keep choosing everything, seeing everything...except ourselves?
From breathwork to journaling to self-care rituals, we often check the “healing boxes” without ever asking: Are we actually facing what needs to be healed
Or, better yet… Do we even feel healed?
Today, I’m sharing what it really costs to avoid your own becoming, and why the only way to create the life you’re aching for is to stop running, soften into your truth, and finally choose you.

In this casual and honest chat with content creative, full-time project manager, wife, mom, and business owner, Alex Williams, we dive into the ripples of saying “why not me?” and letting visibility feel like liberation, not performance.
We lean into:
🖤 The emotional labor of allowing ourselves to be seen
🖤 Quietly unlearning the belief that we’re “too much”
🖤 Trusting your voice long before it’s validated
This episode isn’t about the finish li...2025-07-2320 minPOTH | Psychology of The Heart PodcastEp. 7 - Growth & Grief: Navigating Guilt, Self-Worth, and Who You’re BecomingOne thing I’ve been thinking about is: how do I show myself so people truly see me? Beyond collaboration, beyond social media, beyond what’s visible on the surface?
In this soft and introspective episode, I explore the grief of leaving your past self behind, the lingering guilt of choosing differently, and the courage it takes to finally be seen...especially after stepping out of hustle culture and into a slower, truer way of living.

In this solo episode, I explore the subtle but powerful ways comparison can fill the void when we stop performing for others and finally try to listen to ourselves. We’ll talk about how it often masks grief, fear, and uncertainty when we’re in between versions of who we were and who we’re becoming.
This isn’t about fixing or bypassing the discomfort. It’s about honoring it. What if comparison isn’t just a distraction...but a messenger? What if it’s tryi...2025-06-2519 min

In this solo episode, I open up about what it really means to live anti-hustle. Not just in theory, but in how we show up for ourselves and our lives.
Together, we explore how hustle culture sneaks into our everyday patterns, how it disconnects us from our own worthiness, and what it costs us: physically, emotionally, relationally.
