In Part 4 of Confessions of a Late Bloomer, I'm taking you back to a girl who stiffened at hugs, who lived in her mind more than her body, and who didn’t quite know how to belong.

This episode is about touch, trust, and the long, slow journey of learning how to let connection in.
It’s about the awkward beginnings, the earned softness, and the brave little ways we grow into ourselves, even when it feels easier to stay guarded.
