In this deeply raw and honest episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really means to not be okay—and to stop pretending that we are. This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s not a lesson. It’s a moment of truth. A moment where I speak the words so many of us keep locked inside:

“I’m tired. I’m overwhelmed. And I don’t want to be fixed—I just want to be allowed to feel it.”

I open up about control, emotional exhaustion, the silent weight of being “the strong one,” and the terrifying beauty of asking for support when you don’t even know what you need. This episode is for the ones who say “I’m fine” but are secretly falling apart. It’s a space to be human. Messy. Tender. Honest.

Because sometimes healing starts with finally saying… I’m not okay. And that’s okay.

You don’t have to carry it alone anymore. Speak now.

This is the episode I never thought I’d record.
Not because I couldn’t—but because for so long, I wouldn’t.

In this deeply personal episode of Speak Now, I step out of the conditioning I created to protect myself and into the fire of truth I’ve avoided for years. For the first time publicly, I share the brutal honesty of my past—the parts I used to dress in grace and spiritual bypassing. The parts I thought I had to polish before presenting.

I talk about being adopted, growing up in a home that looked like “saving” on the outside but felt like hell on the inside. I talk about the loneliness, the silence, the invisible weight I carried as a child… and how no one fought for me.

This isn’t for sympathy.
This is for truth.
This is me reclaiming the voice I was told to soften.
This is me choosing yang after years of over-yin-ing myself to stay safe.

I’m not here to make it palatable. I’m here to make it real.
If you’ve ever felt like your story didn’t matter, like your voice got lost in survival mode—I see you.
This is for you, too.

✨ LISTEN. FEEL. WITNESS. ✨
And if it moves you—let it move through you. Leave a comment. Share your truth. Speak now.

Are you tired of being told that success has to come with struggle? That you must grind through things you hate just to earn the right to do what you love? In this episode I’m calling B.S. on that conditioning—especially when it comes to business.

I’ll be diving into my own journey of deconditioning from all the “must-do” marketing tactics that drained my energy and exploring why we’ve been taught to shrink ourselves before we can expand. If you’re an entrepreneur (or just a human trying to build a life that feels good), this episode is for you.

Tune in as we question outdated business beliefs, challenge the hustle-for-happiness mindset, and explore what success looks like when it’s actually in alignment with you. Spoiler alert: You don’t have to force it—you get to create it.
