From heartbreak, friendships, and identity to confidence, loneliness, and growing into yourself — nothing is off limits. A podcast for the people who romanticize their lives while simultaneously spiraling. Some episodes feel chic. Some are… not. Both are allowed here.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T00:18:17.509227+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/not-so-chic-with-elli-freeman-7862422"},"episode":{"title":"I Thought I Was Fine","slug":"i-thought-i-was-fine","published_at":"2026-05-27T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/not-so-chic-with-elli-freeman-7862422/i-thought-i-was-fine","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/not-so-chic-with-elli-freeman-7862422","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LLLEC1010728330.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/LLLEC1010728330.mp3","summary":"In this episode, I’m talking about the summer that completely changed my life. After years of struggling with my mental health, convincing myself I was fine, and learning how to cope instead of heal, I finally got a level of help I didn’t think I “deserved.” I share what led me to outpatient treatment, what it actually looked like, and how I began to understand the difference between surviving, coping, and truly healing. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that you don’t have to wait until things are “bad enough” to ask for help. Plus, we’re getting into a very relatable Chic of the Week, a painfully awkward Not So Chic, and a listener Guest Therapy question about saying yes to everything out of fear of being left out.
