  • Identity is a Choice

    Identity is a Choice
    Feb 22 2026
    You are not who other people think you are. You’re living inside versions of yourself shaped by expectations, roles, and survival patterns but none of them are the truth. This episode is about identity, personal growth, and reclaiming your power. In this high-energy, no-fluff conversation, you’ll explore why people only know their experience of you, how fear signals growth, and why confidence is built through action. You’ll be challenged to stop self-betrayal, stop performing, and start choosing who you become. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’ve outgrown your current life, this episode draws a clear line - your past doesn’t define you, your decisions do.

    If something ended but you’re still carrying it, this episode is for you. We talk about anger, grudges, and why holding on keeps you drained and tense long after it’s over. This isn’t about forgiveness or forgetting - it’s about putting the weight down and calling your energy back.

  • I Wasn’t Broken - I Was Performing.

    I Wasn’t Broken - I Was Performing.
    Feb 8 2026
    I spent years thinking something was wrong with me. Too sensitive. Too quiet. Too much. Not enough. But the truth was simpler and harder to face. I wasn’t broken. I was performing. In this episode, I talk about how self-abandonment slowly disguises itself as strength, maturity, and “being understanding.” How explaining yourself becomes a habit. How shrinking starts to feel responsible. And the moment you realise you’ve been living your life for approval instead of alignment. This is about stopping the audition. Walking away without explaining. And choosing self-respect, even when it costs you people. If you’re exhausted from trying to be palatable, this one is for you.
