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.

✨ Verse of the episode: Proverbs 28:13 — “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”

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.

Friendship breakups don’t always come with a dramatic speech or a blowup fight. Sometimes, you just realize you’re doing all the reaching out… and the silence says enough. In this episode of This Feels Personal, I’m talking about what it really feels like to outgrow people without turning them into villains in your story.

From my own one-sided friendship to what Psychology Today calls the “friendship fade,” plus TikTok’s trend of soft exits — we’re unpacking the quiet ways relationships end, and how to give yourself permission to move on.

Because growth doesn’t always mean dragging people with you — sometimes it means letting go with love.

Let’s talk about how healing feels like it requires a GoFundMe these days. From $100 therapy copays to crystals (if you're into that kind of thing), journals, supplements, and calling out of work just to cry in peace — the cost of “getting better” adds up quick. In this episode, we’re breaking down the real price of self-improvement: financial, emotional, and social.

Because sometimes it’s not just your wallet that takes the hit — it’s your routine, your relationships, and your sense of identity. Are you actually healing or just spending money trying to feel whole?

This one’s for the peps in their glow-up era with overdraft fees and unprocessed trauma.

High-functioning burnout is a scam — but it’s a scam I’ve been running on myself for way too long. You know the one: still meeting deadlines, still “on,” still posting like life’s great… while quietly falling apart behind the scenes.

In this episode of This Feels Personal, we’re talking:
🔥 Why no one noticed you were drowning (including you)
💡 How hustle culture glamorizes exhaustion
🚩 The burnout symptoms you’ve been calling “ambition”
💔 What functioning without flourishing actually costs you

Because looking fine on the outside doesn’t mean you’re not on fire on the inside.

🎧 Listen in, nod along, and maybe… finally give yourself permission to stop.

Ugly Cry Chic: The not-so-cute side of healing.

Let’s be honest — growth doesn’t always come with soft music and glowing skin. Sometimes it looks like crying in the car, ghosting everyone you love, and questioning if this “healing journey” is actually just emotional gentrification.

In this episode, we’re talking about the version of healing no one posts:
— The identity crisis that comes with outgrowing who you used to be
— Why healing sometimes feels like grief
— And the messy middle between “doing the work” and actually feeling better

Because while everyone loves a glow-up, nobody talks about the breakdowns that come first.

This one’s for the folks in their healing era, wondering if they’re doing it “right” or if they’re just sad with better boundaries. (Spoiler: You’re not alone, and no — you're not broken.)

✨ Inside this episode:
— Why self-growth often triggers emotional chaos
— The myth of “cute healing”
— How to hold space for change without losing yourself

Welcome to This Feels Personal — the podcast where growth is real, healing is ghetto, and emotional honesty comes with a side of sarcasm.

In this intro episode, I’m breaking down what this show is (and isn’t), who it’s for, and why I finally pressed record on the conversations I’ve been having with my friends, therapist, and journal for years.

This isn’t your typical feel-good, self-help podcast. Here, we talk about the messy middle — the moments between the “aha” and the actual healing. The emotional labor, the late-night spirals, the growth that feels more like grief, and the uncomfortable truths we usually avoid.

✨ Expect:
— Unfiltered reflections on healing, identity, and growth
— Honest conversations for people who are tired of pretending
— Commentary that feels like your favorite group chat, but with more emotional accountability

If you've ever felt like you’re the only one trying to evolve without losing yourself, this is for you.

New episodes drop every Tuesday (audio) + Wednesday (video on YouTube).
Follow us on Instagram & Threads @thisfeels_personal for episode extras, behind-the-scenes, and memes that hit a little too hard.

Growth is cute… until it isn’t. Let’s talk about it.
