Show notes

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle opens up a grounding, compassionate conversation for anyone ending the year with that heavy feeling of “I didn’t do enough.” If you’re wrestling with shame, comparison, or pressure to have a picture-perfect end-of-year story, this episode is your reminder that growth isn’t linear, timelines aren’t universal, and your quiet seasons matter too. Adelle explores: • Why end-year pressure amplifies shame and self-criticism • How unrealistic expectations shape our sense of “not enough” • The truth about nonlinear growth and “foundation years” • Gentle reframes that help you recognise the progress you actually made • A simple self-recognition practice to close the year with kindness • How to release comparison culture and return to your own pace It’s a soft landing spot in a season that can feel overwhelming and a needed reminder that your story doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s to be valid.
