This episode came from a thought I’ve been carrying for a while. When you have a heavy past and you’re meeting new people, there’s always that moment where you wonder if, and how, you should say anything at all. I talk about that hesitation, the fear of being seen differently, and the quiet worry of whether people will stay once they know your story. It’s not a guide or a lesson, just me saying the thought out loud for anyone who’s ever struggled with what parts of themselves to share.
