✍🏽 Episode Summary:

She never calls ahead.

She just shows up—wearing the voice of something familiar and the scent of something you once called love.

This isn’t just a story about a woman from the past.

It’s about the soft, seductive pull of the patterns we swore we’d outgrown.

In this episode, I confront the version of me that still answers the door when comfort knocks—even if it costs my peace.

And I ask the real question:

What does it mean to choose yourself… when no one’s watching but the past?

📌 Inside This Episode:

* The danger of comfort disguised as connection

* When stillness becomes a trap

* How memory and craving wear the same perfume

* Why letting go doesn’t always feel like winning

✉️ Your Turn:

Have you ever stood at the door—hand on the knob—knowing better but still aching for before?

What version of your past still knows how to get in?
