Episode Synopsis

Have you ever called yourself clumsy — always tripping, bumping into things, or dropping what’s in your hands — without really asking why? In this episode of The Female Szn Podcast, I’m starting a new series called “What’s Really Going On?” where we look deeper into everyday experiences and uncover what science and self-reflection reveal about them. I’ll share my own story of always being clumsy and explore what research says could actually be behind it — from stress and fatigue to brain signals, vision, and more. This isn’t about shame; it’s about giving ourselves grace and learning that there are often deeper reasons for the things we experience. If you’ve ever wondered about your own clumsiness — or just want a safe, thoughtful space to reflect on what’s going on beneath the surface — this one’s for you. References American Academy of Family Physicians.
