In this episode, I share some reflections on the book "How to Keep House While Drowning" by KC Davis which is a compassionate, practical guide for anyone who feels overwhelmed by housework, executive dysfunction or the pressure to keep things perfect. I talk about my own struggles with tidiness, how I’ve shifted my mindset around care tasks, and why letting go of shame and perfection can actually make it easier to start. I also share a few favourite quotes from the book and a journal prompt to help you reimagine your home as something that supports you.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it actually means to be our real selves. We often hear the advice to “just be yourself,” but how do we know who that is—especially when different parts of us show up in different situations? I talk about the joy I find in storytelling, beauty, and creating a certain mood in my work, but also the tension I feel around perfection and the desire to be honest. I share about the messy reality of everyday life, and why I believe authenticity can include both the light and the shadow. This is Day 3.
