On my birthday — and the first day of eclipse season — I reflect on six months of podcasting, over 30 episodes, and what this journey has taught me about voice, truth, and imperfection.

Eclipse season is a time of obscured clarity, and like the shifting shadows in the sky, this podcast has been a space for me to navigate my own growth in real time. I share why I refuse to edit out my flaws, my evolving views on AI and authenticity, and my hopes for deeper dialogue in the year ahead.

This is an unfiltered glimpse into where I’ve been, where I’m going, and why our real, human voices matter more than ever.
