In this opening episode of Return to Rhythm, I share the truth behind what looked like “having it all” and the quiet ache underneath that told me something was deeply off.

I talk about my journey through burnout, people-pleasing, and perfectionism… and how learning to listen to my inner voice and release the emotions stored in my body, became the path home to peace, softness, and self-trust.

This is not a surface-level story. It’s a reclamation.
And if you’ve ever found yourself silently screaming behind your smile… this episode is for you.

In this episode:
• The hidden cost of being the strong one
• How stored emotions impact the nervous system & mind
• Why talk about my feelings didn’t help, and what finally did
• The truth about people-pleasing, survival mode, and energetic prisons
• What happens when you start listening inward
