I named my anxiety Lucy…and it helped me realize that I am not my anxiety. After all these years together (she's been living rent free), I figured it was time she got a proper introduction.For a long time, Lucy and I weren't exactly friends. I used to let her control every part of my life (she's a diva like that).She convinced me that every worst case scenario was reality and that worrying was somehow keeping everyone safe.But somewhere along the way, I realized she wasn't trying to ruin my life. In her own chaotic, dramatic way, she was trying to protect me and the people I love. She just had a terrible way of showing it.So we've made some changes.I'm the driver now. Lucy is the passenger princess…and honestly, that's best for everyone.And while my anxiety's name is Lucy, you probably have your own version of Lucy too. Maybe yours has a different name, a different personality, or shows up in different ways,but if you've ever felt like your anxiety was running the show, this episode is for you.Because Lucy is a part of me. She always will be.And maybe learning to live with her, and not against her has been the most healing part of all.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

When it comes to having a village, everyone wants one. We want the thoughtful birthday celebrations, the check in texts, and all the little loving gestures that make you feel seen. But no one really talks about what it actually takes to have that kind of village in the first place.Because the truth is, you do have to be a villager to have a village. You have to show up. You have to remember the birthdays, send the check in text, and be present. But somewhere along the way, that gets twisted into thinking you have to hold up the entire village…and that's the part that people lose themselves in.This episode is about that line between showing up for people and overextending yourself in the name of people pleasing, feeling guilty or wanting to be the glue. It's about what it means to be a villager, without losing yourself in the process. Because a village is made up of dozens of people, and it's not up to just one person to keep it thriving.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

No one is coming to tell you when it's time to take the next step. No one is going to tell you that you have to do it scared. It's you and your life. And the difference between living a mundane one and an extraordinary one… is what you choose to do with that fear.There's no handbook for doing things scared. No moment where it suddenly makes perfect sense. No signal telling you your body is ready. So you do it anyway. You do it scared. Because you are one decision, one risk, one month away from a dream life. And it could be this moment, the one you're hesitating in right now, that changes everything for the better. And if it was, I know you would do it. So do it scared.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

Sometimes we're the glue, or the empath, or just the safe place someone needs without even realizing it… until we become the bridge to their destination. We get them there, we help them move forward… and then we get burned. And no one really likes to admit that part.Not that we're sitting around waiting for thank yous in friendships, but it hits differently when there's no acknowledgment. None. Not even the smallest “thank you” before they strike the match.It's like the version of you gets outgrown overnight...the way we all suddenly abandoned those GAP Bermuda shorts the second something “better” came along. Out with the old, in with the new....right?But what if this wasn't something happening to you… but for you? What if you being the bridge that got burned was actually the best thing that happened to you. Well let me tell you...it's not a "what if", because it's true.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

On this episode of On the Bright Side, I'm joined by Reagan LeRoy to talk about what it really looks like to chase a dream that doesn't come with a 9–5 schedule, guaranteed paycheck, or clear timeline. From moving to Charleston alone to navigating sober curiosity and the very public reality of failing on the internet, we talk about figuring it out as we go,and the decisions that brought us here. Because when you work on the internet, you fail and succeed publicly. Failures feel public, validation is delayed, and nothing seems to be working… until one day you realize it all was. Which then reminds you: sometimes the day it all works out is built on everything that didn't.

Have you ever noticed how people can love everything you do… just not when you're the one doing it? Their idol posts it and it's called ambition. You post it and it's called trying too hard. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when someone has already decided who you are in their story, and no matter what you say or do, the narrative doesn't change. At some point, you realize you can't prove yourself to someone committed to misunderstanding you. And sometimes the most peaceful thing you can do is let them paint you as the villain and downplay your success… because you know the truthOn the Bright Side is sponsored by Olive and June: Get all your nail needs at www.oliveandjune.com/otbs to get 20% off your first nail system.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

If we spend all of our 20s single, that's only 1/9 of our entire life (the average lifespan is around 90). But the love we intentionally give ourselves during that time can completely change the course of our life for the better. Learning to be self sufficient and to live on our own is a privilege, one that older generations of women didn't always have. Being single, whether it's your first time in your 20s, 50s, or beyond, is when you discover who you are, what you want, and the version of yourself you refuse to shrink for bare minimum love. Right now, it's the quiet mornings, the dinner parties, the sleepovers, and the dramatic decor that's all up to you that make this season so special. One day, you'll look back and miss these moments, and the version of you who was becoming herself in them.On the Bright Side is sponsored by Olive and June: Get all your nail needs at oliveandjune.com/otbs to get 20% off your first nail system.On the Bright Side is sponsored by Medly Wine Co.

Put a finger down if you've ever been told you were crazy for hurting over someone you never dated…we'll put our fingers down now.Sure, we've all heard it. But unlabeled love still hurts, sometimes more than the kind with a title. (And for anyone about to call us dramatic…there's the door.)In this episode, I sit down with best selling author, situationship expert Alissa DeRogatis, the woman People Magazine once said “may never find a husband”, to talk heartbreak, almost-relationships, and the kind of love that never came with a label.We cover dating in 2025, why society struggles to call it love if it's without a title, her book Call It What You Want, and a sneak peek at her new book How to Find Love in the Cereal Aisle.If you've ever loved someone who never fully chose you, still think about an old situationship, or questioned whether your heartbreak was valid, this one's for you. Because if your friends don't get it…TRUST us we do.Link to order Alissa's books:https://www.sourcebooks.com/authors/A14033/alissa-derogatishttps://www.instagram.com/alissaderogatis/On the Bright Side is sponsored by Olive and June: Get all your nail needs at oliveeandjune.com/otbs to get 20% off your first nail system.On the Bright Side is sponsored by Medly Wine Co.

It's out with the old and in with the new...yes, Sharpay said it best. Of course the last episode of 2025 is all about what's coming with us into 2026 and what's staying back in 2025… like typing in lowercase, which really should not have even entered 2023, but I digress.So what's in for 2026? Fast-forming friendships, intentional spending, and therapy...even on your good days. And what's out? Mistaking standards for walls, keeping chapters open that should've been closed, and pretending we don't know better by now.There's a lot more where that came from. I could go on… and of course, I do.

In your 20s, you will be faced with the comparison trap, where you think you're behind, success-shame yourself, and feel like everyone else is living these perfectly put together lives. It's important not to believe that.On this episode of OTBS, we're talking about the comparison trap of your 20s… the one where you scroll for five minutes and suddenly feel behind in life, under accomplished, and convinced that everyone else's life is going great…because it's easy to assume that. Someone posts a single photo, an engagement announcement, a job update, or a perfectly curated highlight reel, and we automatically think everything is easy and going right for them. When in reality, that snapshot is about 0.00001157% of their actual day (yeah… your girl can math).Your 20s are meant for finding yourself, and honestly, throwing societal standards out the window. Because if you looked at my life from a “traditional” standpoint, I'd probably be considered failing. I don't have a 9-5, I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't have a million dollars in savings, yet I'm the happiest I've ever been.So let's chat. Because happiness looks different for everyone, which means success does too.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

HEYYY to my fellow left out people!! On this episode of On the Bright Side, we're getting real about that feeling of being purposely left out. You know that moment where you realize you weren't invited and it hits way harder than it should? Yeah… I know that feeling a little too well. But here's the truth: it was never actually about you. It was about the inviter: the jealousy, the insecurity, the weird little power trip they were feeding off of aka THE KINK.This episode is all about building longer tables, not higher fences. Because longer tables let all of us thrive. They give more room for opportunities, growth, friendship, and support. It's time to stop being threatened by other people's success and start realizing the universe is not on a budget. There's space for everyone, and your life only expands when you make space for others.

The past has a funny way of showing up… usually right when we least want it to.Maybe that's the true meaning behind Blackout Wednesday, Thanksgiving, or any hometown reunion...not the celebration, but the confrontation. Because nothing quite rattles us like accidentally locking eyes with an ex, an old situationship, or that one hometown hater who still thinks they know who we are.But it makes you wonder:Why do we hand these people the same power they once had? Why do we straighten our hair, perfect our smiles, and people please the very ones who never saw our worth to begin with?So if you're dreading a run in this holiday season, consider this episode your sign. Maybe the past isn't returning to intimidate us…maybe it's returning to show us just how much we've actually grown.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

We accept that food expires, jobs end, and relationships change so why is it so hard to accept that friendships can, too? In this episode, I talk about the not so fun reality of friendship breakups… because unfortunately, there's no “how-to” guide. Do we wish them a happy birthday? Do we block them? Why can't they just apologize? Because honestly sometimes I want to shake them until they do. The truth is, anyone can be a great person and also an awful friend...both can co-exist. But a bad friendship breakup can lead to a new, beautiful friendship… and that's the beauty of life: filling the void with connections that truly fit. In this episode, I share how to cope and navigate expiring/expired friendships (because not all of them have to end ugly).SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

Have you ever wanted to be the person who is irresistible? Who can command a room with their level of confidence? Who presence simply just glows? DUH I would think we all do, but how? Well on this episode of OTBS, I learned all about aura, and I'm sharing everything with you !!! Your aura isn't just about looking put together or happy, it's the energy that follows when you walk into a room. Just like magnets, you're not meant to attract everything (or everyone) who comes your way. Polarity protects your peace and peace protects your aura. So…how do we get there?How do we get this irresistible glow that turns heads? Well get listening (or watching) and this may just CHANGE YOUR LIFE…happy listening!!!Special thanks to Jill for teaching me!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcMyRnzZnCkSocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

HEY Y'ALL!!!! just kidding, I'm not saying y'all...yet! In this episode, I'm diving into how our lives are made up of different numbers on the board. Someone's relationship might be a 10, but their finances might be a 3. For me, Charleston might be feeling like a 10 right now, but that doesn't mean everything else is. Some days, what's a 10 for someone else might only be a 7 for another. It's about realizing that not everything has to be perfect at once, and that's okay...or IT CAN BE!!! & we should be able to say that without feeling like we're gonna jinx it. KK LOVE YOU ALL!!!! HAPPY LISTENING
I MOVED!!!! I can't believe I'm HERE?!On this episode of On the Bright Side, I did the scariest thing I've ever done: packed up my life, drove 16 hours, and moved to Charleston, South Carolina...knowing next to no one. ( and I don' think anyone thought I would go through with this…me included)The craziest part? I'm doing it all while following my dreams. Not too long ago, I was the girl whose anxiety dictated everything, throwing up from stress, panic attacks on repeat, fight-or-flight mode daily, barely able to eat when change came near. And now? I'm here. Living proof that your anxiety doesn't have to be bigger than your dreams.This episode is for anyone who's ever thought, “My anxiety is too big for the life I want.” I promise…it's not. A year ago, I believed the same thing, and I'm sharing exactly how I proved myself wrong.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

Time may soften the hurt, but it doesn't erase the need for an apology. In this episode, I talk about how people often use time to brush over their behavior instead of taking accountability. We've all had those moments when someone's hurtful, and 20 minutes later, they're acting completely normal, like it never happened???I don't know what was in Adele's water when she wrote Water Under the Bridge, but it's NOT that simple. Healing doesn't come with an expiration date, and there's no timeline for feeling what you need to feel. Time passing isn't an apology, and we don't need to put it in place of one. YOU'RE VALID FOR FEELING YOUR FEELINGS
Little did we know that our favorite movie would become our favorite movie, that we'd meet our best friend on a random Monday, that we were just around the corner from landing our dream job, or that I'd be moving to Charleston in just 3 weeks.The other day, I came across a TikToker: Haley Hoffman Smith, who shared something that really stuck with me.She said we never really know what beautiful part of life is just around the corner. And it's true. We don't know what dream we're about to step into, what breakthrough is moments away,or how the pieces are quietly falling into place.It's only when we look back that we start to connect the dots and realize…little did we know.So let's chat.Because little did I know this would be my next life chapter.And little did you know that this incredible milestone was right ahead of you.A year from now, we might be listening back to this moment,smiling at how far we've come,and saying again… little did we know.SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok: @onthebrightsidepodcastCaroline's Instagram: @carolinesuskoCaroline's Tiktok: @carolinesuskoSocial media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): HEREWANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

What really happened in the Bahamas? Is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' support system as healthy as it seems? Did she have a stalker?…And most importantly, is she okay?This week on On the Bright Side, former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle joins me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about this season of America's Sweethearts that shook the internet. From being a DCC for 6 years, to her suspension from the team after the Bahamas, to surviving an abusive relationship, and managing her mental health under intense public scrutiny, Chandi opens up about everything that happened behind and beyond the cameras along with her life now.I'm incredibly grateful to have hosted Chandi for this exclusive, and I hope it reminds everyone that negative comments on social media have real impact. It's so important to step into other people's shoes, especially when it comes to mental health.Chandi is a bright light, and I'm honored she trusted me to help share more of her story.Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of abuse and mental health struggles.

As I blew out the candles on 23, all I could think about was the whirlwind of lessons 22 brought me. From letting go of people I once thought were permanent, to learning how to live with my anxiety instead of running from it - this year cracked me open in ways I never saw coming. In this episode, I'm sharing 22 things 22 taught me, because somewhere along the way, I finally met myself ( and I learned my there/they're/theirs)
On this episode of On the Bright Side, I chat about the latest of my silly stories, a creep encounterment on the airplane (T&P's to them ), and the reminder that a seat at a new table is waiting for you.

This week's episode has me written all over it. From dumpster diving for my phone, to doing social media for Thomas Rhett, to hosting my first OTBS event: Wake Up to Wellness. I truly live so many lives. I chat about how these pinch me moments came to be, the left field comments I've been getting as of late and what real friendship looks like - like going barefoot in bars and casinos because someone's shoe broke (Brooke, your people RIDE for you). Oh, and a few other funny things that you'll just have to hear about. I DON'T CARE. It's chaotic, it's funny, it's very me.

If you told me this is what my life would look like one year post-grad, I would've said you're CRAZY!! A lot of unexpected...both good and bad. But that's the beauty of post-grad: you jump off the deep end for the first time in your life and are told to find your path and purpose...it's hard, but it's also amazing.So, now being one year post-grad, let's chat, because whether you just graduated or are four years post-college, I think we can all relate to this and may even need to hear it: it's okay if you feel behind, if life moved in a different direction than you expected. It's okay to be living at home, or to move away and want to come back. It's all a part of life, and it's not talked about enough... so of course, what are we going to do? Talk about it.Love y'all!

This week, I'm back from a Wilmington trip that basically made me remember how much I love the South. My content popped off (normalize tooting your own horn), and yes, I did put the car in neutral mid-drive, but passenger princess duties were still served. From sunrise swims to pre travel anxiety, I'm recapping the week, and how we can't let anxiety get in the way.Anxiety can be loud... but so can I. So let's CHAT!! This ones for the overthinkers, cancelers, and worriers: you're not broken. You're just letting anxiety steer more than it should — and we're done with that!!

We've all heard the advice: "If he wanted to, he would," "You have to hustle 24/7 to succeed," and "Never change for anyone." On the surface, they sound empowering, but when you dig a little deeper, you start to wonder: are these ideals really lifting us up, or quietly wearing us down?Because here's the truth: you don't need a $100 skincare routine to practice self-care, and success isn't a badge earned by exhaustion. So what happens when "inspirational" advice turns toxic?

Luke Combs was right, when it rains it does pour...but that rain helped me to see life more clearly...so I'm taking it as a win. Last week was no walk in the park, but we made it to the next week, and so naturally I'm going to make fun of it now. OH WAS IT A WHIRLWIND!!! Because yes, it's called on the Bright Side but not every part of life has to be celebrated as a win, and some weeks we just need to laugh and say Thank GOD that weeks over ( and this was one of those).

On this episode of OTBS, I talk about how important it is that we live our life in the now, and not the when. Because before we know it time will pass, opportunities will fade, and someday may turn into never. SO WE'RE TAKING BABY STEPS TO THAT!!! But because I am the most unserious person, I do this episode in a silly way…because life isn't that serious!!!

On this episode of OTBS, I get on a pop culture kick and then accidentally get motivational?? Someone said something to me the other day, and it got me thinking—do we ever really know the impact we have on people? A passing comment, a small act, something we forget five minutes later… but to someone else, it sticks. So today, we're talking about the things we don't realize people carry with them, how to handle bitter energy with grace (or at least fake it), and the reminder that we never really know the hearts people go home to.PS ( Bachelor take a seat, because traitors is the new hot show).

They say the girls who get it, get it—and the girls that don't, don't and when it comes to mental health, truer words have never been spoken. Anxiety isn't just stress, OCD isn't about color-coding your closet, and intrusive thoughts don't play fair.On this episode of On the Bright Side, I'm joined by influencer, author, and writer Carrie Berk to dive deep into the messy, unfiltered reality of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the inspiration behind her new book, Mindfire: a raw, intimate diary of her mental health journey.Navigating your 20s is hard enough, but add a voice in your head dictating your every move? That's a whole different level of chaos.From intimacy anxiety to panic attacks, we're breaking the silence on the struggles too many people face alone—because the more we talk about it, the more we realize we're in this together. Let's talk about the mental health taboo today and normalize it. Remember you're never alone. This episode is super helpful, but there are parts that may be triggering to some.

They say life is about making decisions, but no one tells you how exhausting it is to actually make them. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I asked for your advice, and you answered—boldly, honestly, and without hesitation. And let me tell you, the stories that came in were anything but simple. From cheating men, to the friends who poof—disappear without a word, to the constant struggle of ignoring the very advice we'd give our best friend… there's no shortage of drama in this thing called life. And it's funny, isn't it? How we can so clearly see the solutions to other people's problems, but when it comes to our own—well, that's a different story. It's like we finally realize we're ignoring the very advice we'd give our best friend, but somehow, we can't bring ourselves to follow it. Why is it so easy to be a life coach for others, but the hardest thing in the world to coach ourselves? From the constant pressure to take a leap of faith when you're not sure where you'll land, to the “What now?” feeling that comes with leaving the past behind, this episode is all about navigating the chaos, the uncertainty, and the messes we find ourselves tangled in. I'm here to offer some thoughts, a little advice (take it with a grain of salt, obviously), and maybe, just maybe, a reminder that we're all just figuring it out as we go. Because if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's this: life isn't neat, it's not always clear, and sometimes it's downright messy. But maybe that's the point. Love you all, happy listening
I went back to UNH for alum weekend and let me just say, my social battery is no where near where it was 6 months ago. Someone get me a blue Gatorade and a 3 day weekend stat. I didn't even drink this weekend, so yep definitely safe to say I'm placing last.On this episode of On the Bright Side, I was brought back to my college roots for the weekend and remembered how much I prefer staying in versus going out. I'm just the kind of girl who would rather have dinner and chat than go to a crowded bar—but that's just me! Staying in is fine, going out is fine, and it's important we remember that and do what we want to do. Some nights, people need the liquid courage; other nights, they are just as confident sober. Some nights, you want to watch a movie alone, and other nights, you may want a wine night! C'EST LA VIE!!!! This episode is about what's doing best for you! Want to go to the bar/party? Go! The bar is a SOCIAL SPORT and if I did have the energy I would. Want to stay in? Good for you! Go watch a movie and take all the time in the world to figure out what snack you want. I just want you to live your life for you and not the people around you & this ep is about just that! Love you all and happy listening

Nobody deserves to be stuck in a toxic relationship—whether it's a friendship, a romantic partnership, or anything in between. Sometimes, staying in a bad situation feels easier, even if it's holding you back from a better life. We often don't realize how much more fulfilling life can be if we just find the courage to make a change. Remember, you deserve relationships that lift you up and help you grow. Life's too short for anything less!Just know, you're never too much of anything! You were never fake for being too nice. You were never too dramatic for sharing your feelings, and you are never too much for the right people. You bring joy and love to the world with your beautiful qualities. Those qualities deserve to be celebrated by the people who truly appreciate them. You and all those wonderful qualities are like a refreshing drink on a sunny day, a dollop of whip cream on a stack of pancakes—something people LOVE and look forward to! So let's chat about how we can all let ourselves shine and heal from what's harmed us.Caroline's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinesusko/?__coig_restricted=1 (@carolinesusko)OTBS's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onthebrightsidepodd/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D (@onthebrightsidepodd)Caroline's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/ (@carolinesusko)Music:Sundown Drive by Ghostrifter http://bit.ly/ghostrifter-ytCreative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0Free Download: https://hypeddit.com/track/o4ir62

You wake up to your alarm clock, get ready, and head to your job like you do pretty much every single day. But have you ever stopped to question the true nature of the routine you're perpetuating? See, from the moment you entered this world, an elaborate fiction was already being diligently implanted into your consciousness - the idea that these pieces of paper and digital numbers society calls "money" actually have any real, inherent value. But decimal places on a screen and cloth-based notes are fundamentally worthless. Their perceived worth springs purely from a shared cultural delusion that they represent real wealth and should be the driving force behind our very existence.
