What happens when you realize your worth has nothing to do with a credit score? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about the moment I woke up to the grind of 70-hour workweeks, endless credit card payments, and the belief that my value was tied to numbers and titles. You’ll hear how I flipped the script and started prioritizing my own well-being over society’s expectations.

I share the messy but liberating truth of walking away from a 15-year job, even when offered more money, because I refused to keep building someone else’s dream at the cost of my own health. From breaking free of financial pressure to healing patterns like bulimia, I dive into what happens when you finally say, “enough,” and reclaim your energy for yourself.

This conversation is about choosing authenticity over approval and learning to live unapologetically. Through meditation, dance, and self-discovery, I found the courage to let go of the grind and reconnect with my true self. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the rules of the game, this episode will remind you that you’re allowed to trust yourself, break free, and create a life that’s actually yours.
