What happens when the very path that was supposed to set you free starts to feel like a cage? In this raw, honest episode, I break down the real reason I quit being a therapist — not because I stopped caring, but because I started waking up. We talk about the unspoken grief, the body-based betrayal, and what it means to feel regulated and resentful at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me, or is the system broken?” — this one's for you.

I’m naming the quiet parts out loud, walking you through the messy middle, and sharing what it looked like to trust a frequency shift even when nothing made sense on paper. This is about quitting the performance, not the purpose.
