A Millenial Identity Crisis - Between Burnout and Freedom

Lately, many of the choices we make don’t fail because they’re wrong — but because they’re unconscious.
We say yes out of habit. We follow rules we never agreed to. We feel guilt without really knowing why.

In this episode of Grow with the Flo, I explore what intention really means to me right now — not as manifestation, productivity, or life design, but as simple awareness. Knowing what you’re doing while you’re doing it. The difference between drifting… and choosing to drift.

I share how paying attention to intention has quietly shifted my relationship with food, drinking, boundaries, guilt, and change. How many of the tensions I carried weren’t about my behavior, but about invisible rules I’d been living by. And how choosing consciously — even when the choice looks the same from the outside — creates far more peace than discipline ever did.

We also talk about intention as something flexible, not contractual. How changing your mind isn’t failure, but responsiveness. How presence can be a choice, especially in moments of transition, farewells, and uncertainty. And why every intentional choice comes with a little bit of grief — because choosing one thing always means not choosing something else.

This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to notice where you’re still acting out of expectation instead of choice — and to explore what it might feel like to live with a little more honesty and a little less self-judgment.

In this episode, we explore:

• What intention really means (and what it doesn’t)

• The difference between discipline and conscious choice

• How intention can dissolve guilt around food, habits, and behavior

• Why intention isn’t a promise to your future self

• Presence, boundaries, and energy as intentional choices

• The quiet grief that comes with choosing — and why that’s okay

Reflection question:

Where in your life are you still acting out of expectation rather than choice — and what would it feel like to choose differently without feeling bad about it?

Until next time, follow your heart, trust your intuition, and simply grow with the flow.
