In this episode, I open up about my experience as the family scapegoat and how those patterns leaked into my own parenting. I share the lessons I’ve learned in accepting what was, without letting it define who I am today. By facing the truth and choosing growth, I’m stepping onto a better highway—one that leads to healing, healthier relationships, and a new way forward for myself and my children.

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to talk about. For so long, she was the person I came home to. The one I wanted to share everything with—my highs, my lows, every little detail of my day. But the truth is, our relationship wasn’t always healthy.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t like the person I had become. And when I really sat with that, I had to admit… a lot of that stemmed from her influence. That’s a hard truth to swallow when it’s someone you love so deeply.

Doing the work on myself, listening to my family, having those hard, heart-to-heart conversations—it all led me to this moment. I’ve learned that sometimes, in order to grow, you have to let go of what doesn’t serve you—even when it hurts. And through it all, I’m learning how to become the best version of me.

Standing on my own two feet yet once again-

“Once again, I find myself standing on my own two feet—this time moving from the shelter back into a hotel. The journey hasn’t been easy, and the chaos in between has been nothing short of overwhelming. But in the middle of all the craziness, there’s growth, strength, and the reminder that starting over doesn’t mean I’ve failed—it means I’m still fighting. This episode is about holding it together, finding stability where I can, and choosing to rise every single time life knocks me down.”
