“You can take responsibility for who you were without living there forever”

Healing in a world that still sees your old self is an episode for anyone who is doing the work to change - but still feels defined by who they used to be.

Maybe in the past you weren’t trustworthy.

Maybe you drank or used substances to escape.

Maybe you detached, disappeared, or shut people out because you didn’t yet know how to cope.

And now, you’re trying to live differently.

This episode explores the quiet, often unseen work of healing - and the emotional toll of being treated as though nothing has changed. We talk about shame, accountability, and the grief that comes when people can’t move past your past, even when you have.

There is no demand for forgiveness here.

No expectation that others must catch up.

This is a space to acknowledge responsibility without being trapped by it - and to honour growth that doesn’t always receive recognition.

If you’re tired of explaining, proving or being watched for signs of failure, this episode is for you.

You are allowed to change.

Even if not everyone believes you.
