This one is personal — but in a different way.
My dad passing, reminded me of something I’ve always known:
the father who mattered in my life wasn’t the one who shared my DNA… it was the one who chose me.
In this episode, I’m talking about the truth behind my father story — the silence, the pretending, the betrayal — and the man who actually showed up, showed love, and shaped the safest parts of who I am.
And yes… we’re finally breaking down that quote everyone thinks means “family over everything”:
“Blood is thicker than water.”
Except… that’s not the real quote.
And the real version?
It hits completely different.
This episode is about loyalty, lineage, and the power of chosen family.
About breaking cycles without breaking yourself.
About realizing you were never “unchosen”… you just weren’t meant to stay where you came from.
A story vetted by life — and told with clarity.
