Truth: Starting over isn’t a fearless leap. It’s often a messy, necessary act of survival.

Maybe you’re piecing yourself together after heartbreak, leaving behind what’s suffocating, or daring to put YOU first—for the first time.

In this episode, we’re diving into the hard stuff: what you’re really letting go of, why it stings, and how judgment, identity, and unfairness twist the story of starting over.

This isn’t just about the good parts. I’m sharing the mess, the grief, the setbacks no one sees, and the resilience it takes to keep going when everything tells you to stop.

Here’s a reminder: wherever you are in your process, you don’t need anyone’s permission to begin again. Not society’s, not your old self’s, not even mine.

All you need is the courage to believe your next chapter is still yours to write—flaws, fears, and all.

What if the very thing you were told would set you free … is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of forgiveness that doesn’t feel like peace, but more like pressure. You forgive, and then it happens again and again. Whether it’s repeated betrayal by the same person or a family pattern that keeps circling back, it’s not always simple, and it’s definitely not always healing.

We’ve been taught that being the “bigger person” is the way to move forward. But forgiveness without accountability isn’t healing — it’s enabling, especially when it’s expected without exception, just because it’s family or someone you love.

I’ll share what it means to start with yourself first, to stop carrying guilt, and to finally reclaim your peace. Real forgiveness isn’t about staying connected; it’s about letting go of what keeps wounding you.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt conflicted about what forgiveness should look like and is ready to define healing on their own terms.

So you finally did the brave thing.

You let go.

You left.

You told the truth.

Or you closed the door. Maybe even locked it.

But … why do you still feel heavy?

In this episode, I discuss what it really means to move on and why the story we’ve been sold about how it should feel doesn’t hold up.

I’ll also share the often-overlooked parts—the doubt, the grief, and the unraveling of identity that happens once the outside change is made, but your inner world still feels raw and sometimes confused.

Moving on doesn’t always mean you’re over the experience.

Sometimes, it just means you’re no longer letting it define you.
