Lately I’ve realised I’ve been so focused on reaching goals- healing, growing, achieving, ticking off the to-do list - that I kind of forgot to actually enjoy my life. I’ve been in this hyperproductive mode, chasing the next thing, and honestly… it’s left me feeling flat. In this episode, I’m unpacking what it looks like when you get stuck in the grind and forget to have fun.

I talk about the pressure to always be improving, why I’ve found myself saying “I’ll be happy when…” way too often, and how I’m trying to shift my mindset back to joy in the now. If you’ve been deep in your hustle era and lowkey miserable, this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about slowing down and learning to live, not just achieve.


Up Past Bedtime with Bella Messina is your go-to for late-night, unfiltered chats—the kind of conversations you’d have with your closest girlfriends. From relationships to motherhood, no topic is off-limits as Bella, a 20-something mum of two, invites you into candid conversations with inspiring women and shares her own raw stories. This podcast is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and completely understood. So get comfortable, because the best conversations happen when you’re up past bedtime
