🎙️ Episode 27 – Love, Loss, and the Gut Check That Set Me Free
Part of The Summer Sovereignty Series
Have you ever shrunk yourself just to feel loved?
Stayed too long?
Ignored your gut because approval felt safer than truth?
In this raw and powerful episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the patterns that shaped me—starting with the loss of my father, emotional distance within my family, and how those early wounds turned me into a woman who learned to perform instead of feel.
I talk about the Candy Man.
About abandoning myself to be chosen.
About the gut checks I ignored, the masks I wore, and the moment I finally said: “No more.”
And then… I tell you how I turned every single one of those wounds into my superpowers.
This isn’t just an episode.
It’s a reckoning.
A remembering.
A return.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unworthy, or stuck in the same cycles—I made this for you.

What part of myself have I given away in relationships—romantic or familial—in exchange for approval or connection?
Where am I still performing instead of leading with truth?
What does it feel like when I override my gut instinct?
What would it look like to stay loyal to myself, no matter who’s in the room?
✨ Affirmations
I honor my truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
I lead with love—and I lead with boundaries.
I no longer abandon myself to be chosen.
I trust my intuition. I trust my timing. I trust myself.
I am safe to be fully me. And the right people will rise to meet me there.
