Settle in and get comfy, as this week’s episode is tackling the hard topics when it comes to friendships. My hot chocolate moment this week is very revealing and one I didn’t think I would ever share, I’m still not sure I should…

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and beyond, and have had friendships change over the years, this one is for you.

We all have expectations on how we want something to go. How we want people to react. How we want it to end up. We have no control over any of it other than what we do ourselves.

From the reality of the publishing world to the reality of how people treat you, I talk about it all in episode five of Confessions from your Anxious Bestie.

I spend most of my life pretending I know what the hell I am doing. I fake confidence, smiles and even being okay. Episode four is all about confidence and how it doesn't just come from the way we look.

From completing that to-do list, to rewriting the narrative when it comes to thinking we are failing. I have got you covered, bestie.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re “too much”… but that you’ve been trying to control everything for far too long?

In this episode, we’re talking about control—the kind we cling to, the kind we lose, and the kind that slowly drives us up the wall. Because when life (or your body) refuses to cooperate, it’s frustrating as hell.

Expect honesty, a few metaphorical (and maybe not-so-metaphorical) tantrums, and a reminder that sometimes losing control isn’t failure… it’s just being human.

If you’ve ever felt like everything is slipping through your fingers and you’re one minor inconvenience away from a full meltdown—this one’s for you.

Season One of Confessions From Your Anxious Bestie: The Mess & The Magic is a deeply honest journey through the highs, lows, and everything in between. From navigating control, comparison, and the weight of expectations, to rebuilding confidence and leaning into the power of friendship—this season explores what it really means to be human.

It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s real life.

But within all of that, there’s magic too—the small wins, the mindset shifts, the moments of connection that remind us we’re never as alone as we feel.

Think of this as a voice note from your best friend… the one who gets it, who sits with you in the hard moments, and who’s always quietly rooting for you.

Because even in the mess, there’s always a little bit of magic.
