289: Let's Love Our Own Damn Lives
Podcast: Oh Crap with JamiePublished On: Thu Jan 15 2026
Description: Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to fall out of love with our own lives.Not because they’re bad — but because we’ve been conditioned to believe that if something isn’t big, optimized, impressive, or “Instagram-worthy,” it doesn’t count.In this episode, I talk about reclaiming joy, magic, and ownership over your own experience — especially in a world that constantly tells us someone else has the answers.We explore:How expert culture disconnects us from our intuitionWhy everyday life gets minimized in favor of “legacy” and achievementThe subtle ways fear and perfectionism keep us stuckHow unfinished ideas and self-doubt fuel phone use and numbingWhy small, imperfect creative acts can be transformationalHow whimsy, play, and making your space yours can change everythingThis episode is about remembering that:Your experience counts.Your joy matters.And loving your own life — even in the mundane, even in the mess — is not selfish.It’s how we stay human.As always — rock on, have an awesome day, and put your phone down.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!
