The Unfiltered Between Shifts

SHIFT 1: Who I Had To Be vs Who I’m Becoming Season 1 was about survival… but Season 2 is about becoming. In this shift, I’m opening up about the version of me I had to become just to make it through — the strong one, the independent one, the one who carried everything without a choice.
