The problem isn’t that you don’t know.⁣
⁣
It’s that you don’t trust what you already know.⁣
⁣
“It felt weird…”⁣
“That kind of hurt my feelings…”⁣
“But maybe I’m overthinking it…”⁣
⁣
So you talk yourself out of it.⁣
⁣
Again.⁣
And again.⁣
And again.⁣
⁣
Not because the information isn’t there—⁣
but because you don’t stay with it long enough to trust it.⁣
⁣
You already know.⁣
⁣
This week on Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs, we talk about learning to trust your internal signals.⁣
⁣
➡️ Watch or listen wherever you get your podcasts.⁣

It was never about the sweater.⁣
⁣
It was the version of you⁣
you thought you’d become in it.⁣
⁣
You were already feeling a little off…⁣
scrolling… comparing… softening…⁣
⁣
And right on cue—BUY now.⁣
⁣
Because maybe this is the thing that turns this funky feeling around. ⁣
⁣
But it’s not about the sweater.⁣
It’s about the state you were in when you saw it.⁣
⁣
If you’ve ever clicked “buy” hoping to feel different… this one’s for you.⁣
⁣
This week on Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs, we talk about confidence, comparison, and why we attach meaning to things.⁣

POV: your brain won’t stop arguing with itself⁣
⁣
deep breaths didn’t work⁣
nature walk didn’t work⁣
⁣
so now we’re here.⁣
⁣
And if your inner dialogue has been a little… chatty lately,⁣
that’s exactly what this week’s episode is about.⁣
⁣
Because a “good hair day”⁣
has a lot less to do with your hair⁣
and a lot more to do with how you feel inside it.⁣

Hot take:⁣
⁣
It’s not about your hair ✂️ ⁣
⁣
It’s how you feel about yourself. ⁣
⁣
Same haircut.⁣
Same person.⁣
⁣
One day: who is she 💁‍♀️⁣
Next day: …do I hate this??⁣
⁣
That shift isn’t about your hair.⁣
⁣
If that hits, I go deeper in this week’s Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs episode.⁣

This might be why you’re exhausted.⁣
⁣
Not because you’re doing anything wrong—⁣
but because you’re carrying so much alone.
⁣
As a therapist, this is something I see all the time and in this week on the podcast gives us a tool we all could use.
⁣
It’s not just what you’re doing.⁣
It’s the mental load behind it—⁣
the remembering, the planning, the holding it all together.⁣
⁣
And most people don’t realize how much they’re carrying until they stop and actually look at it.⁣
⁣
If you’ve been feeling constantly tired, try this exercise and see what shifts.⁣
⁣
There’s more in this week’s episode of Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs—⁣
how to make things feel a little lighter and less lonely.
⁣
Save this for later—you’ll want to come back to it

You’re not lazy.⁣
⁣
You’re overloaded.⁣
⁣
If you feel constantly tired, try this:⁣
⁣
List everything you do in a week.⁣
Then circle:⁣
⁣
What doesn’t have to be you⁣
What you hate doing⁣
What’s draining you⁣
⁣
Because sometimes it’s not (just) burnout…⁣
⁣
You’re likely doing more than you realized. ⁣
⁣
No wonder you’re exhausted.⁣
⁣
This week’s Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs episode dives into this with chief growth officer, Sarah Harker. ⁣

POV: You almost didn’t reach out because you thought they were too busy.⁣
⁣
And then somehow…⁣
they become someone really important in your life.⁣
⁣
It’s wild how sometimes the connections we hesitate on can become the ones that matter most.⁣
⁣
Almost like what you’re seeking⁣
is also seeking you.⁣
⁣
This week’s Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs episode with is a good reminder to reach out anyway.⁣

The person you’re scared to reach out to… is probably hoping someone like you does.⁣
⁣
I just finished recording a podcast interview and I’m buzzing—like pacing around, need-to-burn-this-off energy 😅⁣
⁣
And I can’t stop thinking about this:⁣
⁣
How often we stop ourselves with⁣
“They’re too busy.”⁣
“I don’t want to bother them.”⁣
⁣
But what if that’s not true?⁣
⁣
What if they’re actually craving a real, genuine connection too?⁣
⁣
That shift got me out of my own way today—and into a conversation I can’t wait for you to hear.⁣
⁣
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to reach out, this is it.⁣

Sometimes the moment your life starts to shift…⁣
isn’t when you find the perfect answer.⁣
⁣
It’s when you ask a better question.⁣
⁣
When things feel overwhelming, try this:⁣
⁣
Where can I be more honest right now?⁣
What am I avoiding?⁣
Where am I holding tension?⁣
What would change if I were more gentle?⁣
Am I hungry, angry, lonely, or tired?⁣
Who am I jealous of… and what might that be showing me?⁣
⁣
You don’t need to have it all figured out.⁣
You just need a question that opens something new.⁣
⁣
This week on Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs, I share the questions I come back to when life feels messy.⁣

You ever spend more time deciding how to end an email… than writing the actual email?⁣
⁣
“Best” feels cold.⁣
“Warmly” feels like we shared a blanket.⁣
“Thanks so much!!!” feels… unhinged.⁣
⁣
Meanwhile my logical brain is like:⁣
“It’s an email. Hit send.”⁣
⁣
But my people-pleasing side?⁣
She’s writing a full emotional disclaimer like:⁣
“no rush at all!! unless there is a rush!! totally fine either way!!”⁣
⁣
Because it’s never just the email.⁣
It’s: do they like me? did I say it right? am I too much?⁣
⁣
High-functioning anxiety doesn’t always look like panic…⁣
sometimes it looks like rewriting your sign-off five times.⁣
⁣
If this is you, this week’s episode of Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs is for you.⁣
⁣
We’re talking about what’s actually underneath the overthinking—and how to trust yourself a little more.⁣

Friendly Friday reminder:⁣
⁣
Your mind can push through almost anything.⁣
Your body eventually calls your bluff.⁣
⁣
More coffee.⁣
Less sleep.⁣
“Just one more thing.”⁣
⁣
But eventually your body is like:⁣
⁣
Girl… we need water.⁣
Food would be great.⁣
Sleep would also be nice.⁣
⁣
If you’re limping into the weekend a little tired, this week’s Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs episode with Ashlyn Thompson might be a good companion.⁣
