I Survived. Now I’m Learning to Live. Here I am

Some stories don’t begin with healing they begin with holding it all in.
This video is for the woman who’s tired of performing strength. The one who’s been surviving for so long, she forgot what softness feels like.

In this episode, I open up about losing my cousin, the silence I sat in after his death, and the grief I didn’t give myself permission to feel. I talk about the years I spent numb, proud of how well I held it together until I realized that wasn’t healing, it was avoidance.

✨ We talk grief.
✨ We talk trauma as identity.
✨ We talk survival, therapy, numbness, and finally… release.

This is a sacred reflection for those who are somewhere in-between — not who they were, not quite who they’re becoming. The middle. The raw, uncertain, beautiful middle.
