Buckle up because today's episode is one part tough love and one part warm hug. I’m giving you my exact recipe for getting a fucking grip, and there are muffins involved… just trust me.
On the day of recording this, I woke up in peak Sad Girl mode, and after getting kicked by my child all night, I knew it was the perfect day to talk about how to get it together when you feel like absolute trash.
TOPICS & TANGENTS
— Why you should treat your days like recipes
— The difference between de-stressing and removing stress (game-changing, I swear)
— A confession related to my Sephora birthday gift[s]
— Why waiting until Monday to get your life together is a scam
— Habit stacking and how it’s more effective than a complete overhaul of your life

POINT OF THE STORY
You CAN get a fucking grip. It won't be easy, but if you focus on getting a little bit closer each day and doing what works for you, you definitely will.
