When Optimization Becomes Obsession: Reclaiming Intuition and Ease with Krista Williams

What if the missing link in your longevity plan isn’t another metric but your intuition?

Krista Williams (Almost 30, Morning Microdose) joins me to unpack what actually makes a women’s retreat transformative, how to spot the line between self-improvement and self-rejection, and the feminine path back to intuition, ease, and long-term vitality.
