Everyone says, “Bet on yourself.” But no one tells you what that really means. The truth? It’s the hardest job you’ll ever have. No roadmap. No guaranteed applause. No one checking in to see if you need a pep talk. Just you, your vision, and the uncomfortable work of showing up—before the proof shows up.

In this episode, we’re getting real about what it actually takes to choose yourself. 

We’ll break down:
✅ The identity shift that happens when you stop waiting for approval
✅ The loneliness of walking your own path—and why most people quit here
✅ Why playing small is more expensive than taking the risk

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or scared to move without certainty—this is your sign. Because at the end of the day, the only real bet worth making is on YOU.

Hit play, take notes, and let’s upgrade accordingly.

Healing is one of the hardest journeys you’ll ever take—not because of the work itself, but because of what it demands. People talk about healing like it’s a glow-up, like it’s peaceful and full of positive affirmations. But what they don’t tell you is that healing can be lonely, painful, and deeply uncomfortable.

In this episode of The Upgrade with L, we’re getting into the real side of healing—the part no one posts about. The part where you have to sit in the quiet. Where you lose people you thought would always be there. Where you start questioning everything you once believed about yourself and the world around you.

I’m going to tell you exactly why this is where most people quit—and why staying in it is the only way to truly heal. Because the truth is, healing isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about becoming someone new—someone who doesn’t settle for what they once tolerated. Someone who chooses themselves fully, even when it hurts.

This is your sign to keep going. The loneliness is part of the process—but it’s not the end of the story.
