Voice Notes to Myself

Sometimes healing isn't about finding the answers. Sometimes it's about finding someone who has already walked through the darkness and can remind you to keep going.

In this voice note, I reflect on voice notes with a friend who I will call The Lantern Bearer, whom I have named Praevia— [Latin] "the one who has gone before"- whose hard-earned wisdom has become a source of hope when I can't yet see what's waiting on the other side of this process. I also explore what it really means to choose yourself, especially when that choice feels lonely, uncertain, or at odds with the life you've always known.

This is a conversation about trusting the process, honoring your own becoming, and remembering that growth rarely feels like growth while you're living it. 

If you're in the middle of rebuilding your life and wondering whether the work is worth it, this voice note is for you.

If this voice note found you when you needed it, I'm glad it did.

This started with the voice notes I leave friends and myself. Ones where I’m sharing random thoughts and musings at 4:30am and others where I’m trying to make sense of heartbreak, purpose, identity, and the oh so strange process of becoming someone new. 

This is the beginning. This is where I share why I decided to stop waiting until I felt polished, certain, and “ready” before allowing myself to be seen. This is an introduction to this podcast and the space I hope to create: a space where authenticity, curiosity, and honesty matters more than perfection, and questions are more valuable than answers.

if you have ever felt like you’re rebuilding your life, confronting the parts of yourself you’ve hidden away, or are simply trying to understand your own story, these voice notes might be for you. 

Welcome.
