Guilt isn’t the voice of your truth. It’s the echo of old survival patterns that taught you it was safer to abandon yourself than disappoint others. You’re not selfish for needing space.

In this epi, I’m looking back at the choices so many of us made in our 20s and 30s—relationships, careers, even versions of ourselves we thought we had to be. A lot of those decisions weren’t made from clarity… they were made from survival. From trauma. From urgency. From trying to stay safe. I share parts of my own story and offer some gentle reflection if you’re starting to question whether the...
