Description

Manual Not Included is a podcast for high-achieving millennials who look successful on paper but feel anxious, burned out, or quietly unfulfilled on the inside, and want real answers, not another self-help cliché.


Hosted by Daniela Tempesta, a recovering overachiever and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, this show offers practical, psychology-backed guidance for people who are ready to understand why they do what they do and actually change it.


If you're tired of overthinking and anxiety, repeating the same relationship patterns, people-pleasing behavior, or feeling like you're performing adulthood instead of living it, you're in the right place.


If you want to learn how to navigate millennial mental health, millennial identity crisis, reinventing yourself, and building a life you don't need to escape from, you're in the right place.


This podcast delivers conversations around high-functioning anxiety, burnout recovery, anxious attachment, setting healthy boundaries, and the emotional skills no one ever taught us, with humor, heart, and tools you can use.


This podcast covers topics like:


Why am I so unhappy when my life is good?


How to stop overthinking everything


How to set boundaries without feeling guilty


Am I burned out?


Why do I repeat the same relationship patterns?


How to know what I want in life


Anxious attachment in relationships


Imposter syndrome in high achievers


How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition


This show provides overachievers and recovering perfectionists with insight, tools, and real talk to move beyond imposter syndrome and self-criticism toward a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
