Today’s voice note takes a vulnerable turn. I reflect on what happened after recording last episode—when I finally said something I’d been avoiding. The result wasn’t neat or polished, but it moved energy.

What unfolded challenged everything I thought I needed to “get right” in order to be safe, loved, or understood. I explore the difference between intention and impact, how I was taught to regulate myself around others’ needs, and why self-expression often feels risky for sensitive, intuitive women.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever feared being too much, getting it wrong, or hurting someone simply by being themselves. It’s about the uncomfortable in-between—the dance between responsibility and self-trust, between nuance and clarity.

In this episode:

• ​ How I cleared a lingering energetic block and what happened next
• ​ Why we fear being misunderstood
• ​ The impossible trap of trying to say everything “the right way”
• ​ Expression, anger, and the power of seeing old wounds with new eyes
• ​ Moving through social expectation with nuance, honesty, and self-compassion
