💡 Episode Summary:

You might think the curated content you scroll through every day is harmless entertainment—but what if it’s doing more than just taking your time?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle but powerful impact of what I’m calling lifestyle porn—those stylized, aspirational glimpses of family life, fitness routines, and daily rhythms that seem to offer inspiration but often end up quietly talking us out of action.

We’ll explore how this kind of content distorts our expectations, disqualifies us from our own progress, and leaves us with a constant, low-grade sense of “not enough.”

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “Sure, if I didn’t have to work...”

  • “If my kids were older...”

  • “If I had that kind of support...”

…this one’s for you.

This isn’t about comparison. It’s about exposure. This isn’t about laziness. It’s about awareness. And this episode is about reclaiming your ability to act—without needing your life to look like hers.

🔑 Topics We Cover:
  • What “lifestyle porn” is and why the term matters

  • How we unknowingly use inspiration as an excuse

  • The disqualification loop: why we keep talking ourselves out of action

  • Why you always feel a little bit behind—even when you’re making progress

  • How to interrupt the pattern and reconnect with your version of progress

✍️ Journal Prompts from This Episode:
  • What kind of content subtly makes me feel like I’m not doing enough?

  • What am I actually craving when I feel pulled toward someone else’s lifestyle?

  • Where am I telling myself something won’t work for me… instead of asking how it could?

Something huge is coming! Get on the wait list!
