Summer is here and for most of us summer means vacation and taking a break from our normal routines. In the Nordics this week marks the celebration of midsummer – which is one of our biggest holidays.

Summer is marketed as our prime time.

Everywhere you look it seems like people have sexy and exciting plans.

Everyone’s tanned, everyone’s surrounded by friends, family, a good looking man and happy kids, everyone has flowers in their hair, cute summer dresses and it seems as if the sun is always shining.

One moment on social media and you feel lonely, anxious and unhappy with your life.

You consume a 10 second reel from someone else’s life, and conclude that they are doing much better at life, while you are failing and living a boring life.

You feel stressed that you haven’t made big enough summer plans.

You feel sad and disappointed that you haven’t been invited to the summer party everyone else is going to.

Maybe your friend has holiday plans she happily shares with you, but at the back of your mind you’re thinking:

“Why am I not invited? “Why am I always the one who has to invite myself to events?”

In this week’s episode, I also talk about how unstructured time — like summer holidays — can be especially triggering for high-achievers.

When the work calendar disappears, all of a sudden you’re left with this blank space. And if you’re used to defining your worth by doing, that space can feel unbearable.
