Why a $30 moisturizer became a 3-hour spiral... and what that says about self-care, decision fatigue, and the pressure to get even small choices “right.”
This episode explores why simple care can start feeling emotionally loaded, and how to stop treating every act of care like a test you can fail.
Sometimes it is not really about the moisturizer. It is about exhaustion. It is about overthinking. It is about wanting relief, wanting clarity, wanting to feel better... and then getting stuck in a loop where even care starts to feel like work.
In this episode of Wisdom From the Porch with GP, we talk about why self-care gets tangled up with perfectionism, why small decisions can feel strangely heavy, and how to return to something gentler, simpler, and more honest.
If you have ever turned one small purchase into a full emotional research project, this one is for you.
