My Plan is Working, & I Feel Like Shit

This week is a messy one.
A short video unexpectedly takes off. The project starts showing real signs of life. A promising new crush enters the picture. A big transition is on the horizon.
By all appearances, things are moving in the right direction.
So why do I feel terrible?
In this episode, I unpack a week of anxiety, self-sabotage, missed goals, strange media rabbit holes, unexpected eating disorder triggers, creative frustration, internet doom, and the uncomfortable realization that I might be much better at surviving bad situations than sustaining good ones.
We talk about the pressure to stay informed in an age of constant catastrophe, the strange loneliness of pursuing work you actually care about, why criticism can linger long after you've stopped respecting the people who gave it, and what happens when success arrives before you've emotionally prepared for it.
It's vulnerable. It's rambling. It's probably more honest than is advisable.
But if you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by a life that is objectively improving, this one's for you.
Thanks for being here.
