Moving to Virginia felt like punishment — no family nearby, friends hours away, and just me, my dog Santana, and my spiraling thoughts. Isolation hit hard. But somewhere between those quiet walks and the stillness I couldn’t escape, I learned something: being alone isn’t the end of the story. Sometimes it’s the beginning.

In this episode, I unpack how loneliness forced me to slow down, listen differently, and actually see myself.

✨ Verse of the episode: Psalm 46:10 - “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Turns out, the stillness I dreaded became the space where I grew the most. It’s giving isolation… but also, it’s giving transformation.

Ever regret opening up? That post-conversation spiral where you replay every word and wonder if you said too much? Yeah… that’s the vulnerability hangover.

In this episode, I’m talking about why that awkward aftermath shows up, how I’ve felt it in my own life (including a story I wasn’t sure I’d ever share), and why the discomfort actually means you’re growing.

We’ll dig into:

• What a vulnerability hangover feels like (and why it’s so universal)
• My own experience opening up in a relationship and facing the cringe afterward
• Why we regret honesty in the moment but reap the benefits later
• How to sit with the discomfort without spiraling

It’s not failure — it’s proof you’re being brave.

Boundaries aren’t mean—they’re necessary. In this episode of This Feels Personal, I’m unpacking what it really sounds like to say “stop playing with me” in real life.

From being mislabeled the “angry Black girl” at work and setting the record straight, to why saying no is actually an act of self-respect, this episode is about rewriting the script on boundaries. We’ll also dig into a Reddit AITA post about cutting someone off, and the trending conversations online about saying no without guilt.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for protecting your peace, this one’s for you.
