It’s my birthday, and instead of blowing out candles and pretending I’ve got it all together, I’m pulling back the curtain on the things I’ve actually been learning, grieving, and growing through this past year.
This episode is not some Pinterest board version of reflection—it’s an honest look at what I’m no longer tolerating, what I now know in my bones, and how boundaries became my new love language. From shedding old roles to reclaiming my voice, I’m naming the patterns I’ve buried, the rules I’ve broken, and the parts of me I’ve finally stopped betraying.
If you’re in a season of becoming—messy, sacred, and wildly human—you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about what it means to evolve without apologizing for who you’re not anymore.
