This week, I'm diving into something that’s been sitting heavy and beautiful in my heart: what it really means to learn to relationship, not just romantically, but with myself and the people around me, now that I’m living as my full, true self.

After a weekend away with Sharon’s incredible aunties (yes, the ones who’ve redefined family and unconditional love for me), I found myself reflecting on the difference between performing love and actually receiving it. And let me tell you, it’s a whole journey.

I talk about how we often grieve the life we never wanted but still tried so hard to make work. I share what it’s like to experience love that isn’t transactional, to learn how to speak up for what I need, and to let people in, without flinching. Because for so many of us who came out later in life, we’re not just learning how to be loved... we’re learning how to love ourselves first.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt awkward or overwhelmed when someone genuinely loves you
• You’re still figuring out how to show up in relationships without editing yourself
• You’re wondering if it’s normal to grieve the old you (spoiler: it is)
• Or you just want a reminder that you’re not too late, not too broken, and not alone
  

I also chat about the release of my book, Burn the Script, which is now out in the wild and available on Amazon! Links in the show notes, or hit me up if you're in Australia and want a signed copy.

I’d love to hear from you, what’s been the hardest or most healing part of learning to relationship for you? DM me, email me, or even better, come be a guest on the pod. We’re just having real chats here.

Thanks for being here. Thanks for being brave. And remember, you are worthy of the good stuff.
