In this podcast episode, the speaker shares her experiences with two major emotional breakdowns, both of which led to her breaking her phone. Instead of seeing these moments as failures, she views them as important wake-up calls that reveal deeper issues. The first breakdown occurred during a challenging first relationship, prompting her to confront unhealthy attachment styles. The second meltdown was triggered by her obsessive perfectionism while recording the podcast, exposing her fear of online criticism and cancel culture. Ultimately, she highlights the value of recognizing and learning from these emotional upheavals, framing them as essential signals for personal growth rather than sources of shame.
