In this episode of Breathe & Unpack, we explore what it really means to protect your energy.

As you grow, what peace looks like starts to change—and not everyone can have the same access to you.

I share what I’ve been learning about resetting, honoring my boundaries, and recognizing the difference between genuine connection and quiet exhaustion.

You’ll also hear stories about love, friendship, family, and the moments that teach you how to choose calm over chaos.

Take a breath. Reflect. Protect your energy.

Boundaries 101

In this episode, I unpack what boundaries really mean to me from learning when to step back, to what I’ve read and observed, to how I’m still figuring it out. Family, friends, work, even myself, boundaries show up everywhere.

Some conversations feel heavier than others. We play them over in our heads, imagining the reaction before we even say a word. For me, it’s not about being afraid to speak up it’s about how my words land. I’ve been told I can sound harsh even when I don’t mean to, so sometimes I hold back, thinking about how the other person might take it. In this episode of Breathe & Unpack, I’m opening up about why we avoid hard conversations, how I’ve learned to pause before speaking, and why it’s still a work in progress. From family to friends to relationships, avoiding the talk doesn’t always mean we’re weak sometimes it means we care. Let’s unpack it together.
