#146: Surviving Black Friday
🎙️ In this episode, you'll hear:
This week is a softer, slower check-in — because October has been a lot and I know I’m not the only one feeling ready to turn the page and call in a calmer, more grounded November energy. 💛
I’m sharing a quick concussion update and what recovery has really looked like behind the scenes — the forced slowdown, the overstimulation, and the reminder that you can’t hustle your way through healing. Sometimes “doing less” is the most honest version of growth.
I’m also pressing pause on Gamechangers for now, not because the commitment is gone, but because honoring your body is the work. Round 2 is coming, and it will come from a healthier, stronger place.
We’re also talking about the psychology of Black Friday — how brands engineer urgency, why your brain reacts the way it does, and what it looks like to shop with intention instead of impulse. This season comes with so many amazing deals, but also so much pressure. The reminder here is simple: you don’t need to buy something just because it’s on sale. Be responsible this shopping season. Don’t spend to fill a gap that rest or boundaries could solve.
I touch on Buffbunny and Ptula in this conversation too — not in a “haul” way, but in an honest one: sometimes wanting the thing vs. needing the thing are two totally different experiences.
If you’re in the in-between season, feeling ready to reset, or just craving a sigh of relief as November inches closer — this one is for you.
