We all carry a backpack — sometimes it’s physical, other times it’s invisible. Inside are the experiences, expectations, and emotions we hold onto every single day. But here’s the question: are you carrying tools that support your growth, or weights that hold you back?

In this episode, we explore both the literal and emotional backpack. From journals, affirmations, and calming scents to the invisible load of regrets, worries, and outside expectations — I’ll walk you through how to lighten your pack and refill it with tools that bring calm, clarity, and resilience. You’ll learn how to reflect on what you’re carrying, why letting go matters, and practical ways to build your own mental health toolkit.

By the end, you’ll be reminded that you are in control of what you carry — and that every small choice to protect your energy is a step toward thriving.
