for the longest time, i struggled with the fear of doing things alone—whether it was making decisions without seeking validation, stepping into unfamiliar spaces without a friend by my side or simply experiencing life on my own terms. it felt safer to have someone co-sign my choices, but over time, i realized that constantly outsourcing my decisions was holding me back.

in this episode, i unpack the fear of solitude, the comfort we find in external validation and the freedom that comes with learning to trust yourself. from second-guessing outfit choices to letting other people’s opinions dictate major life decisions, i explore how relying too much on others can disconnect us from our true desires. and more importantly, i talk about the power of doing things solo—how it builds confidence, deepens self-awareness and proves that you don’t need permission to live the life you want.

so if you’ve ever hesitated to make a move without a second opinion or canceled plans just because no one could join, this episode is for you.
