Summary

If you're feeling lost, stuck at rock bottom, unloved, unheard, unmotivated, or unhappy in your current situation—if you feel completely defeated, like you've lost your sense of purpose, and that things will NEVER get better—this episode is for you!

This is the wake-up call you've been waiting for.

Today I get personal on what hitting rock bottom taught me and how I pulled myself out, and how you can too. We discuss:

How everything feels like salt, when you walk around wounded.
The truth about why some people have such a powerful impact on us—No they are NOT your twin flame.
How losing yourself can actually lead to a breakthrough.
The dangers of confiding in the wrong people during your weakest moments.
How to recognise when someone’s projecting their insecurities onto you.
How to protect your energy and rebuild your confidence.
And lastly, 3 things to remember when hitting rock bottom.

We end this heartfelt episode with some laughs, cringe quotes, and a random true story about my encounter with Eva Mendes that might surprise you.

0:10.3	everything felt like it wasn't working out. I was feeling emotionally so drained, so low.
0:16.2	It felt like everything in my life was failing. Specifically with my work, I felt uninspired, with my work I felt uninspired with my book stuff I was told that I needed to
0:26.4	change direction after I already written around eight nine chapters they wanted me
0:31.9	to write a completely different writing style. I felt uninspired with my
0:36.2	podcast. I felt bored with my everyday life and with my friendships and in my love life. It was unexciting and eventful and with my personal brand I was
0:46.8	told that brands were not hiring me because I wasn't active enough on it and I needed to change the whole look and figure out what my
0:55.5	personal brand was and make him more clean girl aesthetic which I was not and that's why no one
