This Friday night, I’m sitting with the weight of grace—how it feels to give it freely, and what it does to us when we don’t get it back. There’s a specific kind of ache that comes from watching someone offer softness to people who once hurt them deeply… while you’re left out in the cold, even after you’ve grown.

In this episode, I read a Dear Me letter about withheld grace, share my own reflections on what that silence feels like, and speak directly to anyone who’s ever felt stuck in someone else’s memory of them. If you’ve been doing the work—quietly, imperfectly, but earnestly—this one’s for you.

Come sit with me.
Same couch, same vibe.
