In the spirit of being bejeweled, this episode is about refusing to shrink for someone else’s comfort. I share a moment of realizing I wasn’t fully myself in a past relationship — not as drama, but as data. From there, we unpack what it looks like to grow without self-erasing, to find friendships where you’re completely seen, and to choose connections that can hold all of you. I’m done dimming, asking you to hold me to that and inviting you along with me.
