In this premiere episode, I open the door to my journey from survival mode to intentional living, revealing how overcoming challenges shaped my approach to both mental and physical strength.

Growing up with young, divorced parents created complicated relationships that left lasting impressions on my sense of self-worth. Though I appeared strong on the outside—bartending nights after office work, hitting after-hours clubs, and pushing through on minimal sleep—I was fragile and weak, and tired from wearing masks.

The constant refrain of "make your own money" and "never rely on a man" echoed from my childhood, creating defense mechanisms that initially seemed protective but ultimately limited my growth.

The turning point came when I realized that trust issues with others stemmed from a fundamental lack of trust in myself. I didn't know how to establish healthy boundaries or honor my own needs. This podcast represents my commitment to sharing those hard-earned lessons—many of the stories I've previously kept hidden out of fear.

When I recorded thirteen episodes in 2022 and shelved them, I recognized a pattern: by silencing my experiences, I wasn't just limiting my own creative expression but potentially withholding insights that could help others navigate similar experiences.

Whether you're struggling with self-worth, facing career transitions, or working to build physical and mental resilience, this weekly podcast offers both raw honesty and practical advice. If you're not actively, intentionally pursuing better health and growth, you're choosing the alternative.
