This isn’t a repeat of Episode 8 — it’s a homage.

In Episode 90, Ryan revisits the idea that self-care isn’t selfish, but this time from a quieter, more personal place. No clichés. No wellness hype. Just an honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, and what it really costs when you keep showing up for everyone except yourself.

Recorded solo, this episode reflects on work, exhaustion, and the kind of dedication that looks admirable on the outside but slowly drains you on the inside. It’s about pausing without guilt, resting without explanation, and remembering that you don’t need to be “ready” for everything ahead to keep going.

If life has felt heavier lately — if you’re tired, unsure, or quietly bracing yourself for another year — this episode is your permission slip to slow down.

Self-care isn’t selfish.
It’s self-respect.
And sometimes, it’s survival.

Press play. Take the pause.
