    Your Problems Get Smaller When Your World Gets Bigger | Doomscrolling, My 10 Year Plan & Mental Health

    A conversation about making your world bigger—because sometimes the problems consuming your entire brain might feel a little smaller when your life gets a little bigger.This week on Little Miss, I’m talking about a TikTok I saw that made me rethink boredom, doomscrolling, and the tendency to let small problems take up way too much space in my life. The idea was simple: when you make your world bigger, the things that once felt enormous can start to feel a little less all-consuming.So naturally, I’m talking about all the ways I’m trying to expand my own life.We’re getting into the surprisingly intense recommendation to create a detailed 10-year plan, what I want my life to look like a decade from now, my dream of living on a compound with my best friends, and the kind of mom I imagine myself being someday.I’m also talking about my ongoing attempts to doomscroll less, be less bored, spend less time on my phone, and improve my mental health by actually giving myself more things to do, experience, and look forward to.Because maybe the goal isn’t to obsessively fix every little thing that feels wrong with your life. Maybe sometimes you just need to make your world bigger.If you’ve been feeling stuck, bored, chronically online, or like your phone has somehow become your entire personality, this episode is for you.

    Living With Chronic Illness: Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, POTS & Why Women Struggle to Get Diagnosed

    A conversation about what it’s really like to live with chronic illness—and how exhausting the journey to getting answers can be.This week, we’re joined by my friend Becca to talk about her experience with endometriosis, adenomyosis, and POTS, and the years she spent navigating doctors, symptoms, uncertainty, and the search for answers. We get into why women are so often forced to see multiple doctors before their symptoms are taken seriously, how gaps in medical research affect women’s health, and why being told “everything looks normal” doesn’t necessarily mean someone is actually okay.We also talk about how to support someone who is chronically ill. What does showing up for a chronically ill friend or partner actually look like? How can you be supportive without making their illness their entire identity? And what are some of the things people with chronic illnesses wish the people around them understood?Then we get into the more complicated and emotional side of Becca’s journey. She’s preparing to have her uterus removed next month, which means confronting the reality that she will never have biological children. We talk about the grief that comes with losing a future you imagined for yourself, even when you know a medical decision is the right choice for your health.This is a conversation about chronic illness, endometriosis, POTS, women’s health, medical research, friendship, reproductive health, and grief—and what it means to find answers and build a life around a body that doesn’t always cooperate.TW: This episode discusses chronic illness, reproductive health, infertility, hysterectomy, and grief. #endometriosis #adenomyosis #pots #reproductivehealth #birthcontrol #womenshealth
