This is a story. A story of not belonging. Of losing your voice, maybe even your identity...

And slowly rebuilding yourself from the ground up. It’s my story. The journey I had to go through to become the woman I am now. I share how I went from being the “perfect girl” who stayed quiet, to finally reclaiming my voice, walking away from what wasn’t mine and building a life that actually feels like me.

This is about the pivots. The pain. The freedom. And what it really takes to create a life that feels like yours. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong… If you were told you’re too much, too loud, yet somehow not enough… This is for you.
