Sometimes finding your authentic voice means risking everything familiar. In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my journey to rebranding as "Sassy Politics" – a name that emerged serendipitously yet perfectly captures both my personality and purpose.

The moment I embraced this change, the unfollows began. Beyond strangers on social platforms, I faced my greatest fear: alienating my predominantly conservative family and friends in Texas. As the lone progressive voice in my family circles, every political statement carries the weight of potential rejection. Yet remaining silent had slowly chipped away at my sense of self. This rebrand isn't just about politics – it's about reclaiming my voice after years of careful self-censorship.

What I've discovered through this transformation is that progressive values aren't radical demands – they're fundamentally human ones. We want housing security instead of eviction notices. We want wages that allow us to live, not merely survive. We want our tax dollars working for communities, not funding billionaire tax breaks. And importantly, we're done asking nicely. While some may unfollow or disapprove, this community we're building is rooted in something real: hope that builds coalitions, feeds neighbors, and creates change. If you're still here, thank you for being part of this journey. Share the show, subscribe, and spread the word that there's still fire in the fight for a more compassionate world.
