This week, I’m joined by the multi-talented Amy Wilson—writer, actor, and co-host of the hit podcast What Fresh Hell. We talk about the invisible weight of being the “helpful one,” the push-pull of people-pleasing, and why creativity can’t live in the leftovers of our time.

Amy shares the real story behind her new book Happy to Help—a funny, thoughtful collection of essays for anyone who’s ever stayed too long, tried too hard, or ignored their own needs. We dive into what happens when we try to fix everything—until we can’t.

We talk boundaries, burnout, and the power of giving yourself permission to write messy, live messy, and be okay with not having it all figured out. If you’ve been waiting for permission to make space for your creativity, your joy, and your voice—this is it.

Take a walk, grab a puzzle, and let this conversation remind you: your time matters too.
