  Being “Low Maintenance” Is Costing You More Than You Think 12.08.2026 16p

  What if being “low maintenance” isn’t actually a personality trait… but something you learned to become? In this episode of Running with Scissors, we’re unpacking the hidden cost of always being the easy one.. the person who doesn’t ask for much, doesn’t complain, doesn’t need help, and is always “fine.” Because there’s a difference between being independent and constantly shrinking your needs to avoid being difficult. Because being easy to love shouldn’t mean being easy to overlook. 💭 Are you genuinely low maintenance… or have you just gotten really good at not asking for anything? 🎙️ Welcome to Running with Scissors... real conversations about relationships, identity, psychology, and the messy parts of becoming an adult.

  You Didn't Love Them. You Loved How They Made You Feel. 28.07.2026 23p

  Why is it so hard to let certain people go?   In this episode of Running with Scissors, we're unpacking three relationship traps that keep us emotionally stuck: • The difference between love and validation• Why closure doesn't always come• Falling in love with someone's potential instead of who they really are   Sometimes we don't miss the person, we miss how they made us feel about ourselves. We chase closure that never arrives, convince ourselves they'll eventually become the person we need, and mistake emotional highs for genuine love.   If you've ever found yourself unable to move on, this conversation might explain why.

  Your Future Self Isn't Coming to Save You 21.07.2026 13p

  We spend so much time waiting for the "right time".. more confidence, more motivation, more certainty. But what if your future self isn't coming to save you? In this episode of Running with Scissors, we unpack why waiting keeps us stuck, why confidence comes from action, and how the smallest decisions today shape the person you become tomorrow. 💬 What's one thing you've been leaving for "future you"?

  The "Her" You're Chasing Doesn't Exist 07.07.2026 14p

  Everyone wants to become her.   The confident one. The disciplined one. The successful one. The girl with the perfect routine, wardrobe, body, relationship and life. But what if becoming her has very little to do with any of that?   In this episode, we're talking about the difference between changing your life on the outside and transforming it from the inside. We unpack why external validation, aesthetics and productivity can only take you so far and why real confidence is built through the quiet work nobody sees.   If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still don't feel like the person you're trying to become, this conversation is for you.

  The Fear Behind the Fear (And Why You're Still Stuck) 30.06.2026 23p

  Fear rarely looks like fear. It shows up as procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, or staying where it's comfortable. In this episode, we unpack the fear behind the fear, the deeper beliefs hiding beneath fears like failure, judgement, success and disappointing others. We also get vulnerable about the fears we've experienced in business and how we're learning to move forward despite them. Sometimes understanding the real fear is the first step towards freedom.

  Random Things That Make Us Feel Like We're Winning at Life 10.03.2026 13p

  This episode is a little different — think coffee chat energy. We’re talking about the smallest, most random things that somehow make us feel like we’ve got our life together. From canceling subscriptions on time to the perfect cup of coffee and sending emails, it’s the tiny wins that sometimes hit the hardest. Because building a life from within isn’t only about the big breakthroughs — it’s also about noticing the little moments that make everyday life feel lighter, calmer, and a little more put together. If you’ve ever felt weirdly proud of doing something small… this episode is for you.

  Stop Feeling Bad for Protecting Your Peace 03.03.2026 25p

  Why do we feel guilty for protecting our energy, but burnt out when we don’t? In this episode, we talk about boundaries as part of mindset work, not just relationships. Because what you allow into your space affects how you think, feel, and show up.   We unpack emotional boundaries (not absorbing everyone else’s moods), physical boundaries (your time, rest, and availability), and why saying no without over-explaining is often kinder than silent resentment.   Being kind doesn’t mean being accessible 24/7. Boundaries don’t push people away, they keep you intact.

  How Comparison Is Quietly Draining You 24.02.2026 23p

  Have you ever felt good about your progress… until you opened Instagram?   In this episode, we unpack how comparison quietly drains your confidence, shifts your focus outward, and makes you feel behind, even when you’re actually growing. From social media highlight reels to invisible timelines, we explore how measuring your life against someone else’s peak moment erodes self-belief and creates unnecessary impatience.   Comparison doesn’t inspire consistency, it creates urgency and self-doubt.   We talk about how to re-center on your own path, define progress on your terms, and protect your inner world like it’s part of the work, because it is.   Building from within means choosing alignment over applause.

  You're Allowed to Outgrow Who You Were 27.01.2026 21p

  Growth doesn’t always feel exciting. Sometimes it feels like loss.   In this episode, we talk about outgrowing old versions of yourself, the identities, roles, dreams, and expectations that once felt safe but no longer fit. We explore the grief that can come with change, the guilt of evolving when others expect the old you, and the quiet permission it takes to let yourself become someone new.   We also reflect on memory, the fleeting nature of life, and how easy it is to chase what’s next while overlooking the beauty of right now.   You’re not betraying who you were.You’re honouring who you’re becoming.

  Why You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore 20.01.2026 25p

  At some point, many of us stop trusting ourselves, not because we’re incapable, but because life teaches us to doubt our own voice.   In this episode, we unpack what self-trust really means, how it quietly erodes through comparison, failure, and people-pleasing, and the subtle signs you might be second-guessing yourself more than you realise. We talk about rebuilding self-trust through small, daily actions: keeping promises to yourself, making decisions without constant validation, and learning to reflect without shame.   Because self-trust isn’t something you find, it’s something you build. The more you honour your own voice, the louder and clearer it becomes.

  Discipline Isn’t Punishment 13.01.2026 14p

  Discipline isn’t punishment — it’s self-respect.   In this episode, we challenge the idea that discipline has to be rigid, guilt-driven, or exhausting. We break down why motivation is unreliable, how extreme “hustle discipline” leads to burnout, and what healthy, sustainable discipline actually looks like.   This is about building self-trust, showing up consistently in ways that fit your life, and creating routines that support you — not control you.   Because real discipline isn’t about being strict.It’s about being devoted to the life you’re building.

  Your mindset is the foundation (and everything else depends on it) 06.01.2026 21p

  Your mindset is the foundation everything else is built on — your habits, decisions, confidence, and ultimately, your version of success.   In this episode, we unpack why external success without a healthy mindset eventually collapses, and how your thoughts and belief systems quietly shape the way you move through life. From the choices you make daily to the standards you set for yourself, your inner world determines how stable (or shaky) your foundation really is. We also talk about what to do when life feels unstable — how to recognise when your foundation needs work, and how to begin rebuilding from the inside out instead of constantly trying to fix surface-level problems.   If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, exhausted, or misaligned, this episode is for you.

  As we step into a new year, we’re reflecting on the lessons 2025 taught us and more importantly, what we’re choosing to carry forward. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to show up for yourself: building habits that support you, moving your body with intention, finding hobbies that bring you back to yourself, and learning to live your life for you — not for validation, expectations, or the outside world.This episode is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and intentionally choose the version of yourself you want to grow into. Welcome to Built From Within, where growth starts on the inside.

  When You Feel Behind in Life and Everyone Else Seems Ahead 11.11.2025 27p

  We all know that feeling — when life feels slow, the spark is gone, and you start wondering if you’ve somehow fallen behind. This episode is for the in-between seasons — the ones where you’re still showing up, even when it doesn’t feel like much is happening. We’re talking about: The shame of “not being there yet” What to do when your motivation disappears Remembering that the season you’re in is not who you are And how to find your way back when you’ve lost momentum If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like everyone else is moving faster than you — this one’s for you.You’re not behind. You’re just becoming.

  Habits That Changed Our Lives 04.11.2025 11p

  This week, we’re chatting about the habits that actually changed our lives — not in a “5 AM, green juice, gym girl” kind of way, but in a real way. From showing up as our authentic selves and setting small reminders that help us stay grounded, to romanticizing discipline and learning to find beauty in the mundane — these are the habits that have genuinely shifted how we show up for ourselves and the people we love. Tune in for an honest conversation about growth, self-respect, and becoming who you were always meant to be (without burning out trying to get there).
