In this episode, I’m talking about one of the hardest but most healing parts of my journey: letting go of the past version of me who settled.
The one who kept the peace at her own expense.
The one who made herself smaller to feel safe.
The one who thought love, success, and stability required her to abandon herself.

She got me here — but she’s not coming with me.

I share how writing this book became an act of releasing her, grieving her, and honoring her… without staying her.
Because real growth isn’t just about learning something new — it’s about being willing to outgrow who you used to be.

If you’re in a season of shedding, shifting, or standing at the edge of who you were and who you’re becoming — this one’s for you.

This week, I’m sharing the truth about the patterns I didn’t recognize — the ones that quietly shaped how I moved through love, business, and life.
Patterns of overgiving. Over-explaining. Over-functioning.
Patterns of abandoning myself to avoid conflict, stay liked, or keep someone else comfortable.

In this episode, I talk about how these patterns nearly broke me — and how writing this book helped me finally see them for what they were: survival tactics that were no longer serving me.
I also read an excerpt from one of the chapters where I unpack a cycle I kept repeating… until I finally broke it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same story, or wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship or dynamic — this episode will feel like a mirror.

This episode is a love letter to the version of you who’s doubting herself.
I’m reading one of the final passages I wrote in my book — a moment that sums up everything this journey has taught me.
If you’ve ever been made to feel like your worth depends on your wins, your relationship status, or your ability to hold it all together... I hope you take a deep breath and let this episode remind you of what’s always been true: you are already enough.
No one else gets to define that for you.

✨ If this speaks to you, be sure to follow along , the book is almost here, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
