That moment changed everything.In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how that simple conversation became the start of my healing—how it led to c...

2025-11-0324 minBlushing PhoenixWhen Sorry Isn't EnoughSend us a textWhen my daughter was little, she watched a cartoon called Wonder Pets. In the Christmas episode, Ming-Ming breaks Tuck’s snow globe and says she’s sorry — but Tuck’s response stuck with me: “Sorry won’t fix it.”That line hit deeper than I expected. Because while I believe in heartfelt apologies, sometimes sorry just doesn’t fix it. Words can soothe, but they can’t always repair what’s been broken.In this episode, I’m unpacking what real accountability looks like, why “sorry” isn’t always enough, and how we can accep...

Their intentions were good, but their rules and fears were actually keeping me stuck. By recognizing and lovingly releasing those old versions, I’m learning to step fully into who I am now at 40.The truth is, what got us here won’t get us there.
