Some things I’ve learned about taking care of myself—things I didn’t understand at 18 but finally get now. It’s not about routines or doing it perfectly. It’s about peace, boundaries, nervous system stuff, and learning how to show up for me. If you’re figuring it out too, I hope this feels like a deep breath.

It’s always been easy for me to understand why people did what they did—to give grace, to be the one who sees the pain underneath. But lately, I’ve been learning what it means to offer that same empathy to myself. In this episode, I’m talking about the uncomfortable but healing process of letting your own hurt matter, even when you still have compassion for the people who caused it.

This episode is about a kind of grief most people never talk about — the grief you feel when life doesn’t go the way you hoped. When you’ve always been the strong one, the caretaker, the one who keeps it all together… and then you realize, deep down, you’re sad about what you never got.

Whether it's a version of your childhood, the kind of relationship you wanted with your parents, a dream that didn’t work out, or a plan that fell apart — this is for the kind of grief that doesn’t come with a clear ending.

This episode is really just me reflecting on how hard self-love actually is—not the surface-level, performative kind, but the real stuff. The kind that asks you to sit with your emotions, hold boundaries, stop performing for love, and give yourself the care you’ve been begging others for.

I talk about how my self-love journey first started at 20, after walking through a lot of loss—divorce, leaving the religion I was raised in, and realizing how little I truly knew myself. That season cracked me open, and it’s what led me to therapy, healing, and figuring out who I was outside of what I was told to be.

Now, six years later, at 26, I’m still learning what it means to practice self-love in a deeper, more grounded way. I’m noticing how easy it is to slowly slip back into old patterns, to abandon myself in small ways, and how important it is to come back—again and again.

This isn’t a “how-to” episode. It’s an honest conversation about what’s worked for me, what hasn’t, and how I’m trying to do it better now. We talk about self-trust, emotional safety, giving yourself what your parents never could, and what it actually means to honor your capacity and needs—even when it’s uncomfortable.

Whether you’re just starting your healing or you’ve been on this path for a while, I hope this episode makes you feel seen, and maybe helps you come back home to yourself a little.

This episode is all about the stuff we don’t say out loud — the way we assume, spiral, and make up stories in our heads... then believe them like they’re facts.

We talk about how easy it is to live in assumption, how that messes with our peace, and what happens when we can’t tell if the voice in our head is God, fear, or just us trying to stay safe.

If your mind races, if you overthink everything, or if you constantly doubt what’s real — this is one of those “me too” episodes.

We’re naming the elephant:
The loud thoughts that sound like truth... but aren’t.
