In This Episode, We Discuss:

✅ The hidden downside of “purpose anxiety” and how it impacts your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

✅ The power of daily curiosity—how it enhances intuition, reduces overwhelm, and brings more joy.
✅ Simple daily practices to shift from pressure and perfectionism to presence and flow.
✅ How to reconnect with your body, slow down, and live a life guided by intuition rather than expectation.
