In this season finale, I sit down with my younger self for coffee, Yanina 1.0, to make amends, reflect on my growth, the lessons I’ve learned, and let go of what no longer serves me. Yanina 1.0 sought validation in others, stayed in toxic relationships, and embraced burnout. As I embraced Yanina 2.0, I learned to trust myself, set boundaries, and take bold, intentional steps toward the life I truly want. Healing is freedom, and stepping into your next level means forgiving yourself first. Now, I’m leaning into my feminine energy, manifesting more travel, allowing myself to start dating - all while continuing to show love to myself and allowing myself to continue to heal at the same time. Embrace your 2.0 and stay being Similarly Different!
