I recorded this episode on my 46th birthday.

Not from a place of celebration or performance but from slowness, honesty, and a deep awareness that time is moving whether we’re ready or not.

This episode is a reflection on what 46 years of living, losing, healing, and waking up has taught me. About forgiveness and resentment. About slowing down instead of rushing through life. About how emotions come and go, and why we don’t need to label a heavy day as a broken life.

I talk about perfectionism, survival mode, friendships that carry us through hard seasons, and the quiet realization that the race has never been with anyone else, it’s always been you versus you.

This is not a how-to episode.

It’s a come-sit-with-me episode.

If you’ve been feeling tired of the noise, the drama, the pressure to perform, or the sense that life is moving too fast, this one is for you.

Listen gently.

And remember, you don’t have to get it perfect for it to be meaningful.
