I gave up everything I believed in just to belong. For decades, I sacrificed my critical thinking, my values, and my sense of self at the altar of acceptance, all because I desperately wanted to fit in with my family.

In this video, I share my personal story of how the fear of not belonging drove me to abandon my own North Star. From a childhood of isolation and abuse to living with my religious brother, I learned firsthand what happens when you mold yourself into someone you're not just to be accepted.

This is a raw, honest look at self-brainwashing, the pressure to conform, and what it took me decades to realize: never give up who you are to fit in with people and places where you don't belong.

If you've ever felt pressured to sacrifice yourself for acceptance, this one's for you.

Remember when you didn't wake up every morning wondering what fresh hell was happening? Remember when politics was boring and you could just live your life? Yeah, me too. That's not our reality anymore. In this first episode of Get The Rant, I break down how we went from normal to constant chaos under Trump's administration - the ICE terror, the tariff disasters, the war threats, and the psychological toll of living in perpetual crisis mode. This isn't just about disagreeing with policy. It's about the exhaustion of living through an administration that treats governance like reality TV and gaslights us for noticing. If you're tired, if you're angry, if you're wondering how we got here - you're not alone. 🎙️ New episodes every Friday
