A Storytelling Podcast

ELSE’C Insights

ELSE’C Insights is a storytelling podcast about the quiet truths behind growing up.
Each episode follows the voice of a teen or young adult navigating real emotional struggles, perfectionism, burnout, grief, identity, and more through short, fictional stories grounded in truth.
Every story ends with a reflection from Coach Remy to help you breathe, reflect, and feel seen.
For the ones who smile through the panic, shrink to fit in, or feel like they’re falling behind…
You’re not alone. You’re safe here.

Jada is the girl who gets everything done — the planner, the achiever, the one who never lets anything slip.

To everyone else, she looks like she has it all together.

But behind the smile is someone holding her breath, trying not to crack.

In this premiere episode of ELSE’C Insights, we step into the mind of a high-performing teen quietly unraveling under the weight of perfectionism, performance, and the fear of not being enough even when she’s doing everything “right.”

Stay through the end for a reflection from Coach Remy, who breaks down the difference between strength and suppression, and why asking for help isn’t weakness.

For the ones who smile through the panic… this one is for you.
