Episode 24 starts as an ad-lib yap and turns into a deep dive into communication, grief, refinement and the uncomfortable shift from survival mode into actually showing up again.
After spending much of 2025 in a quiet season of grief, introspection and massive personal change, Stevi reflects on how loss reshaped her voice, her relationships and her tolerance for surface-level living. She talks honestly about feeling unavailable, questioning her worth, redefining her boundaries and learning that depth will always replace volume.
This episode explores how communication shifts when your life changes, why refinement often comes with friction, and what it means to step into a new year knowing action is required, even when fear is still sitting in the passenger seat.
It’s raw, reflective and very much a reminder to show the hell up, speak honestly and stop accepting anything less than dang magic!
