Stop Escaping: Why a Vacation Won’t Fix Your Problems
Ever feel like all you need is a vacation to fix everything? In this episode, we dive into why that getaway you’re dreaming of might feel great in the moment but won’t solve the root problem of your stress or overwhelm. Kim, the host, unpacks the common survival strategy of fleeing when life feels heavy, explaining how running away can keep us stuck in a cycle of avoidance and emotional numbing.
Discover why facing the hard stuff—awkward conversations, deep inner work, and confronting triggers—creates lasting change, while escaping only provides temporary relief. Kim shares practical advice on breaking free from the "Groundhog Day" loop and embracing long-term healing. It’s time to ditch survival mode, stop running, and start thriving.
If you're ready to shed the emotional weight and reclaim your peace, this episode is for you. Don’t forget—healing is a marathon, not a sprint, so take care of yourself along the way!
Tune in and ask yourself: Are you escaping or truly healing?

The Real Reason You're Overwhelmed (And It’s Not What You Think)
In this episode, we dive deep into the feeling of overwhelm and explore the real reasons behind it—reasons that might surprise you. The host shares a personal journey of struggling with the weight of responsibilities, the pressure of multiple labels from a therapist, and an overwhelming need to gather information to find a solution. Despite attempting to lighten the load by letting go of jobs and commitments, the feeling of overwhelm persisted.
