<p>Ever feel like everyone’s out here “doing the work” but no one can really explain what that means? Yeah, same.</p><p>In this week’s episode of <em>Introspectively Speaking</em>, I sit down with my best friend Mariana for a late-night, real-talk conversation about what emotional growth actually looks like when you're in the thick of life — like raising kids, navigating marriage, healing from the past, and occasionally spiraling at 2 a.m.</p><p>We unpack what <em>doing the work</em> means to us, how we started, and why it’s not a one-size-fits-all process. We talk about self-awareness, emotional regulation, shame, therapy, relationships as mirrors, and yes… how ChatGPT has quietly become our second therapist (no shade to the real ones — we love you too).</p><p>If you’ve been feeling stuck, confused, or just over the Instagram-aesthetic version of healing, this episode is your permission slip to explore your own version of growth — the kind that’s messy, nonlinear, and beautifully human.</p><p>🎧 Grab a cozy drink, light a <em>supervised</em> candle (you’ll get it), and let’s talk about it.</p>
