In this episode of Follow the Butterflies, I am joined by two returning guests who are also close friends for a frank and honest conversation about healing, growth, boundaries, and the versions of ourselves we leave behind.

Together, we explore what it means to say, I am not where you left me—to outgrow old wounds, reclaim our identity, and become someone the past no longer has the power to define. We reflect on the people we once were, the experiences that changed us, and the courage it takes to choose ourselves after spending so long putting others first.

This is a deeply personal conversation about self-worth, forgiveness, friendship, and learning to look back at our former selves with compassion rather than shame.

***This episode was inspired by song I came across on TikTok by acreator called 'normal the kid'; the song " I Am Not Where You Left Me". I beautiful song that completely hit me in the feels with very few lyrics but penetrated the soul. Follow him on TikTok under the username 'normalthekid' and download his song!***

In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode, I sit down with a returning guest who is more than just a creator—she is a very close friend, someone I share the kind of conversations that go far beneath the surface. She’s a TikTok creator with a voice of her own, but when we come together, titles fall away and what remains is trust, truth, and the freedom to speak openly with no masks.

Together, we explore the powerful topic of detachment—what it means to let go without becoming cold, protect your peace without losing your heart, and walk away from what hurts you without bitterness. We speak on boundaries, outgrowing people, healing, and the strength it takes to choose yourself when necessary.

Does Our Healing Journey Ever End? is a powerful and thought-provoking episode that dives deep into the heart of what it means to truly heal. In this intimate conversation, my guest, TikTok creator “authenticallyMEjenn” brings raw honesty and gentle wisdom as she opens up about her own path through pain, growth, and emotional awakening. With vulnerability and strength, she shares how healing isn’t always a straight line — and how sometimes, the most profound transformation happens when we allow ourselves to fully sit in our emotions instead of running from them.

Together, we explore the idea that healing may not be something we “finish” — but rather a lifelong process of becoming. This episode is an invitation to anyone navigating their own emotional terrain to slow down, feel fully, and redefine what it means to be whole.

There will be a few wrap up podcast episodes for 2024. Thank you all who DM’d and shared your private stories and lessons learned. Most of you were actually asking for advice. I’m not exactly sure if I can give the right advice as I am not a mental health expert and have no credentials; but I will certainly try to talk about your stories with kindness and empathy. We are re-visiting the topic of grief. So many of you experienced an immense amount of loss in 2024. So please join me in this short episode to touch on a few things about grief. Thank you so much for your support.

Today’s topic is self sabotaging. Why do we do it? Where did we learn it? A starting point to help us get out of the cycle of self sabotaging by putting a few things into practice. Let’s learn to by kinder and gentler to ourselves. We are all unique individuals that have vastly different healing journeys.

Waking up with a heavy heart; why does it happen? How do you deal with it; what do you do to re-connect with yourself and get out of that mindset? Also, a few PSAs.
