Nobody talks about how uncomfortable it is to outgrow your old life.

In this episode, I'm sitting with the question: What are you grieving as you grow?

We're talking about the friendships that drift, the habits you didn't know you'd miss, the version of yourself you had to leave behind, and what it actually feels like to be stuck somewhere between who you were and who you're becoming.

This one's for anyone who's changing and feeling guilty about it. For anyone who doesn't fit in the same conversations anymore. For anyone standing in the messy middle wondering if they're doing it right.

Spoiler: there is no "right." There's just becoming.

In this episode:

• The quiet grief of outgrowing people you used to need
• Why growth doesn't feel empowering—it feels disorienting
• What it's like when your family still sees the old version of you
• How to grow and grieve at the same time
• Why the messy middle is lonely (and why that's okay)

If you're in your messy middle right now, you're not alone. And if this resonates, I'd love to hear your version of it.

Do you actually believe rest and boundaries have to be earned?

In this episode, I'm unpacking the guilt that comes with choosing yourself—where it comes from, how it shows up, and why it's so hard to shake. We're talking about cultural conditioning, the difference between self-love and selfishness, what happens when "selflessness" turns into self-erasure, and how to redefine self-love as maintenance, not indulgence.

This one's for anyone who's tired of putting everyone else first by default, who feels guilty for resting, or who's still learning how to advocate for themselves the way they do for others.

No perfect answers here—just honest questions and real reflection.

In this episode:

• Why rest feels like something you have to earn
• The "good person" image and how it restricts you
• When selflessness becomes self-erasure
• How self-love shows up on a normal, boring day
• What would change if you treated yourself like someone you're responsible for caring for

If this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Share it with someone who needs to hear it, and let's keep this conversation going.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t fear of failure—but fear of being seen while you’re still figuring it out?

In this episode, I sit with the quiet spaces we don’t talk about enough: the hesitation before starting, the pressure to look capable, the habit of overthinking instead of moving. I reflect on procrastination, comparison, deservingness, and the invisible rules we learn about when we’re “allowed” to take up space.

This isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about naming the patterns.

Questioning the pressure.

And learning how to stay in the process without armor.

If you’ve ever felt behind—even when you know you’re capable—this conversation is for you.

No fixes. No formulas.

Just an honest moment of unlearning, in real time.
