Before I found my tribe… I lost someone.
This episode is for the grief we never talk about. The friend who never became a full chapter, but left their name on every page.
Joseph wasn’t a boyfriend. He wasn’t a fling.
He was the friend who saw me when I didn’t even know how to be seen.
We never said it out loud, but I felt it. And maybe he did too.
This is the goodbye I never got to give and the truth I never said out loud.
🦋 In this episode, I talk about:
Unspoken love and silent grief
Being emotionally overdrawn from people-pleasing
How one loss shaped every connection after
My journey from performance to peace
What healing really looks like when it’s not pretty
And this weekend? I’m going to the concert we would’ve joked about going to together… with a jersey that honors him. Because some love shifts, but never fades.
💔 Contrary to popular belief… unspoken love is still love. And grief? It doesn’t need permission to be real.
