What looks like laziness might actually be something far deeper. In this episode of The Female Szn Podcast, Ari Bryant shares how she went from always being sharp and productive to finding herself frozen in place—so much to do but doing nothing. We’ll explore why procrastination isn’t about willpower, but about fear, perfectionism, emotional overload, and what’s going on in the brain. Backed by psychological research and real talk, Ari will walk you through how to start breaking the cycle—with compassion, not shame. Because you’re not lazy—you’re emotionally overloaded.

Have you ever brushed off a compliment, changed the subject, or laughed it away because it felt… uncomfortable? You’re not alone. In this episode, host Ari Bryant explores the surprising psychology behind why accepting praise can feel so hard, especially for women.
From self-esteem and vulnerability to social conditioning and self-criticism, Ari unpacks what’s really happening beneath the surface when someone says something kind to you. Backed by research and real reflections, this episode invites you to stop deflecting kindness and start learning how to let it in, one “thank you” at a time. Because it’s not about ego, it’s about healing your relationship with yourself.

Overwhelmed, overstimulated, and wondering what’s really going on? In this second episode of What’s Really Going On, I’ll be exploring what overstimulation is, why it feels like your senses, thoughts, and emotions are on overload, and what science says about who is most likely to feel this. I’ll share how I’ve been personally coping, withdrawing, retreating, needing quiet, and give gentle, evidence-based ways we can protect ourselves without burning out. If you’re tired of feeling like everything is too much, let’s lean into rest together.

Have you ever called yourself clumsy — always tripping, bumping into things, or dropping what’s in your hands — without really asking why? In this episode of The Female Szn Podcast, I’m starting a new series called “What’s Really Going On?” where we look deeper into everyday experiences and uncover what science and self-reflection reveal about them.
I’ll share my own story of always being clumsy and explore what research says could actually be behind it — from stress and fatigue to brain signals, vision, and more. This isn’t about shame; it’s about giving ourselves grace and learning that there are often deeper reasons for the things we experience.
If you’ve ever wondered about your own clumsiness — or just want a safe, thoughtful space to reflect on what’s going on beneath the surface — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to truly “lock in” with yourself, your goals, and your peace for the last four months of 2025. I’ll share how I’m applying it in my own life — from my first solo trip to prioritizing fitness with ClassPass — and how I’m learning to choose myself in the present, not just plan for the future.
If you’ve been craving structure, balance, or just a reset, this episode will guide you through simple, stress-free ways to join The Great Lock-In. Consider this your invitation to clear out distractions, realign your energy, and end the year stronger than you started.

So many of us get caught up in endless responsibilities - work, family, bills, expectations - that we forget to actually live in the moment. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to choose yourself. Not in a selfish way, but in a way that brings balance, joy, and a sense of presence back into your life. I’ll share my own journey of moving from “all work, no play” to creating small moments that make me happy now, instead of waiting for the “perfect” future. Together, we’ll talk about why prioritizing yourself matters, how to release guilt, and why doing something fun for yourself every week can completely shift your energy.
