What's up you beautiful people !

In this solo episode, I open up about my personal healing journey—navigating life with scoliosis, a spinal fusion, ADHD, and trauma.

I share —what it’s like to unlearn toxic beliefs around success and productivity, and how I’m learning to define success on my own terms. For so long, I believed I had to constantly do more just to feel worthy and when I couldn't do more I would sit in guilt and shame but while I'm on this journey to healing I'm starting to learn and ask ...what if rest is the brave thing? What if healing doesn’t mean pushing through—but slowing down? Rewiring our mindset to talk kinder to ourselves is a healing journey on it's own but it's worth it and so are you.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to prove your worth through hustle or pushing through.
It’s time to release the harmful narratives that have done more damage than good—and start honoring our bodies, our stories, and our needs.

- What's up you beautiful fuckin people ! welcome back to another episode of the Unaligned & Unfiltered podcast.

- In this episode I talk about Grief after spinal fusion surgery and the ways I have learned how and when it was showing up in my own life and how I'm learning to show up for my body more authentically.

- So much goes into spinal fusion surgery and our journey to healing afterwards but something that needs to spoke about more is the grief we can endure after our surgery from the person we were before , the way we moved pre surgery , and the journey it takes to embrace who we truly are and honor ourselves by living authentically. I hope this helps you on your own journey and know that you are NOT ALONE <3

- I also introduce a new Segment called "Twist & Tell" where I ask you, the listeners a question about your own journey and I will share them on the next episode ! The question this week is -

*** What is one thing your post-op self taught you that your pre-op self would not have understood ? ***

Today I sit down and talk to you all about Sex and Spinal fusion ! I believe this topic needs to be talked about . When I was 25 years old I didn't have anyone to turn to and I had so many questions. So I decided to sit down and share my experience with you all in hopes that it helps anyone out there who has surgery and coming up and no one to talk to. As always this is my experience and my journey, we are all different. Do what feels right for you! This is just a little dip into this subject - more coming soon :)

Thank you to everyone for supporting me and creating a safe community to share my journey.
