Episode notes
Nice For You, Not For Me
- Anna recalls shopping with her mum and saying about a skirt, "That's nice for you, but not for me."
- The phrase became a family shorthand to recognise things that suit others but not oneself.
Creative Extras As Play
- Anna suggests many creative extras are simply someone's way of playing and having fun.
- Reframing these actions as play reduces pressure and judgement about others' choices.
Prioritise Your Energy
- Choose where to invest your limited energy and resources rather than trying to copy everything you see.
- Accept that nobody does all the extras and prioritise the activities that genuinely bring you joy.
