There was a time in my life when my thoughts, my feelings, and even my decisions didn’t feel like they belonged to me.I was told what I felt. I was corrected when I tried to explain myself. I learned—slowly, painfully—that it was safer to say “I don’t know” than to be ignored, criticized, or made to feel crazy.This episode is me talking through what happens when you grow up being controlled, gaslit, and conditioned to give up your right to decide—and how that turns into people-pleasing, self-doubt, and eventually… silence.I share what it looked like when I stopped trusting myself, how “I don’t know” became a survival skill, and what happened when I finally started taking my power back—even when people didn’t like it.This isn’t polished. It’s honest. It’s messy. And it’s for anyone who’s ever felt like their voice didn’t matter.If that’s you—you’re not broken. You were adapting.🎙️ Life Is a Trip & I Forgot the MapKindle. https://a.co/d/a911RI3Paperback https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GD64W9LR#HealingJourney #FindingYourVoice #TakingYourPowerBack #SelfTrust #PeoplePleasing #EmotionalHealing #PersonalGrowth #LifeIsATripPodcast

How do we know we’re on our path?How do we figure out what’s actually true for us — not what we were taught to want, not who we were conditioned to be, but who we really are underneath it all?In this episode, I reflect on what it means to trust our inner guidance, to follow what excites us, and to let go of fear-based beliefs that keep us shrinking ourselves to fit into someone else’s expectations.Inspired by a simple framework for self-discovery, this episode is less about answers and more about presence. It’s a quiet, honest conversation — with myself — and an invitation for you to have one with yourself too.Because sometimes, the best conversations we ever have are the ones we have with ourselves.#FindingMyPath#SelfReflection#QuietGrowth#TrustYourJourney#InnerGuidance#StillHere#CreativeLife#PersonalGrowth#SelfDiscovery#VideoPodcast

We’re taught how to shrink ourselves—to fit in, to be easier, to take up less space.But no one gives us a map for finding ourselves again.In this episode, I share where I’m at right now—mentally, emotionally, and creatively—and why this podcast exists in the first place. I talk about mental health, self-discovery, quiet growth, and why things can be deeply in motion even when it doesn’t look like much is happening on the outside.I also share what’s coming up next, including an upcoming interview episode with Amy about my book The Love She Never Expected, along with other projects unfolding behind the scenes.This isn’t about having it all figured out.It’s about choosing not to disappear anymore.📖 The Love She Never Expected is available on AmazonKindle: https://a.co/d/a911RI3Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GD64W9LR
