This episode is a tender but necessary one.

I’m opening up about a personal experience and the family dynamics surrounding it—the silence, the tension, and the ways pain can ripple through a family when it goes unspoken. This isn’t about blame or labeling anyone as “right” or “wrong.” It’s about telling my story.

We talk about what happens when loyalty gets complicated, when boundaries feel disruptive, and when choosing your own healing creates discomfort—both internally and externally. Sometimes healing isn’t loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet, shaky, and deeply personal.

If you’ve ever felt caught between protecting yourself and keeping the peace, this one’s for you.

Healing doesn’t clock out when you do.

Continue to grow and continue to glow out loud.

Virginia is for healing—and so are you 💛
