Letters From Bailey

Each episode is a letter to the audience. Fragments of thought and heartbeat written in the margins of an ordinary yet impossible life. I am Bailey: a runner training for a 100 mile race, pursuing a PHD in psychology, and living with both BPD and Ehlers-Danlos. Here I leave digital journal entries, philosophical rants, and confessions told into the microphone like unsent letters. Some are to you, some are to myself, some to the ache of existence itself. If you have ever wanted to collapse and keep going all at once, these letters are addressed to you. Love, - B.S.

You Don’t Get a Medal For Breaking Yourself

We glorify the grind, until it grinds us down.

In this episode, I’m drawing the line between discipline and self-destruction. This isn’t about quitting when things get hard. It’s about knowing when pushing harder stops building you and starts breaking you.

You don’t win more in life by running on broken feet, working 20-hour days, or ignoring your body and mind when they’re screaming at you. That’s not resilience, that’s self-punishment.

Here’s how to work smart and hard, so you can grow without burning out, and why real strength is in the cycle of breaking and rebuilding.
