Description

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to grow gently, to be present in the mess, and to let go of the need to be seen. I've learned that healing isn’t a finish line—it’s a quiet unfolding.

I speak about the power of intention over perfection, and how true worth doesn’t come from achievements, but from simply being. I also discuss my back pain. Pain has taught me to listen more closely—to my body, my emotions, and the stories I’ve carried too long.
