This episode explores the moment you decide to stop living as the victim of your past. Not because what happened did not matter, but because you no longer want it to define your future. When you live through trauma, survival patterns can stay long after the danger is gone. They shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe it feels to take up space in your own life.

Healing begins when you notice those patterns and choose to respond differently. This episode is a reminder that your past shaped you, but it does not get to own you.

⟡ ASK YOURSELF SOFTLY

Where in my life am I still living like the victim? What is one small shift I can make this week that honours the version of me who is healing?
