In today’s episode, we’re talking all about August energy , that weird limbo between wanting to squeeze every last drop out of summer and also… do absolutely nothing. We get into the pressure to finish strong, the guilt around rest, and how we’re really feeling as summer winds down. Whether you’re in your soft girl slow-living era or trying to force a last-minute glow-up, this one’s for you.
