You ever been so busy trying to be what everyone else needed, that you forgot who you were?
Yeah… me too.
There was a time I didn’t even recognize the woman in the mirror. I wore a smile but carried shame. I knew how to show up for others, but didn’t know how to show up for myself. And somewhere in the chaos of life, career, motherhood, and marriage — I got lost.
But here’s what changed everything: I took the mask off.
Not the COVID kind, the emotional one. And I decided to stop living small to make others comfortable.
In this episode, I’m sharing the foundations that helped me reclaim my self-worth, rediscover my voice, and stop handing my power to people who didn’t earn it.
So if you’ve ever struggled with identity, boundaries, or feeling like you’re not enough — baby, this episode is for you.
