Why Not Be Happy? Healing People Pleasing, Real Talk and Connection with Em-J Smith
Manage episode 485173560 series 3656224
In this episode I chat with Em-J Smith, who I met on a film set a year ago, about healing, authenticity, dating, and the messy joy of human connection. Recorded in our pyjamas (because why not?), we explore:
People-pleasing - How to undo it, even if it costs us relationships.
Dating's perfection myth - Why apps feel fake and real life flirting is oddly hard.
Trauma and resilience - Smiling as armor, and why feeling down is human.
Authenticity starvation - Craving real talk in a world of small talk.
Social media vs. self worth - Rejecting the 'always-camera-ready' lie.
No fluff - a raw conversation on saying 'no', trusting your path, and finding joy in the imperfect. Listen for a dose of realness!
