It is difficult being the person who can handle the big feelings.. it's when everyone starts expecting you to carry the weight alone. Just because you're capable of carrying something doesn’t mean you were meant to carry it all, by yourself.

In this episode, I’m talking about emotional responsibility, accountability, and learning to recognize when it’s time to stop carrying what was never yours alone. 🤍

We spend alot of time explaining ourselves. Sharing about ourselves is human. However.. sometimes you just need to let people sit in their discomfort and disagreement. They'll be aight. Go live your life.

Choosing a different route outside of revenge is probably one of the strongest decisions you can make for yourself. Choosing to ground yourself in the middle of chaos, or simply choosing peace within yourself, has a way of clarifying everything. It changes how you see people, how you see situations, and even how you see your own healing.

Peace won't always feel like action.. because it requires restraint. It feels like choosing not to follow every emotion that pulls you into destruction, even when it feels justified.

Time has a way of revealing what’s real and what isn’t. It exposes intentions, it reshapes pain, and it teaches lessons that emotion alone can’t process in the moment.

Realistically speaking,

Time is the biggest truth teller, and revenge is the ultimate time waster.

In this Episode I speak on how Ellie and Abby's story from The Last of us is a shining example of this.

You don't need to start over. You need to remember who you are. Stop letting outside voices, comparison, and pressure pull you away from purpose. Stay in position.

Sometimes finding your voice means outgrowing the spaces that once defined you.

In this episode, I talk about the moment I realized I didn’t have to perform to exhaustion just to be heard. I reflect on growth, healing, and learning how to tell the truth without losing myself in the process.

This is a conversation about transformation, perspective, and choosing peace over pressure.

Time doesn’t stop for our emotions. It doesn’t rewind for regret. It just moves.

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about wasting years being hurt, the difference between getting older and actually evolving, and the quiet clarity that comes with realizing you don’t have endless time to stay stuck.

I am processing forgiveness out loud.

A loving note -

This podcast is built on love, respect, and the understanding that everyone is on their own unique journey. We are not here to overshadow, diminish, or harm anyone’s hard work, especially when that work has been done with kindness and integrity.

There is another podcast called The Open Soul Podcast that has been around longer than us, and we want to acknowledge and honor that legacy. Out of respect for the path they’ve walked before us, we have chosen to move forward with the name An Open Soul Podcast.

This change comes from a place of respect, not competition, it’s our way of recognizing those who came before us and making space for all voices to be heard and valued.

Thank you for being part of this community with us, and for supporting a space where respect and kindness come first.

Alignment isn’t something you say.
It’s something you live.

Group shame keeps people obedient, quiet, and disconnected. No one can burn you with truth you've already accepted about yourself.
