In this episode, I’m owning something hard: the ways I’ve responded when I’ve been hurt. Whether it’s lashing out, going silent, or justifying my behavior because “they started it” I’ve been stuck in a cycle that doesn’t reflect who I want to be. I talk about the fire that rises when we feel triggered, the blackout moments where everything goes numb, and the silent treatment we use to protect ourselves. And I share the exact message I sent my husband that cracked me open and reminded me —

you don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

This one’s raw, real, and full of reflection. Let’s break the cycle together.
