There’s a moment before you leave something important.
Not the argument. Not the blow-up.
The moment when you realize you’ve been explaining yourself for too long.

In this episode, I talk about what led up to my leaving the band — the slow power shifts, the silences, and the things I kept telling myself were normal… until they weren’t. I walk through the day I finally left, and the strange mix of relief, grief, and clarity that followed.

This isn’t a story about one bad moment.
It’s about erosion. About listening to your body. About knowing when staying starts to cost you more than leaving.

Everything I share here is my personal experience and perspective, told as honestly and carefully as possible.

This is Episode 7 of Starting Rumours: My Life as a Mockstar.
I Know I’m Not Wrong.

*TRIGGER NOTE* This episode discusses emotional stress and workplace conflict.
