This episode holds a transparent moment.

 I recorded this on an early morning when everything hit me at once. The shift in my career, the quiet grief I’m feeling as my dad ages, and the weight of holding it all together. This episode is raw, and I didn’t plan to cry (I promise lol) but that’s what made it REAL. So if you’re in a season of transition, you’re not alone. I hope this reminds you that feeling deeply isn’t a weakness, it’s proof we're still alive, becoming, and growing irl.  I hope this helps during your journey. <3

What to Expect in This Episode:

  • A transparent breakdown, sharing a real-time emotional moment. 
  • Navigating anticipatory grief as a daughter and mother. 
  • Processing the weight of aging parents while balancing adulthood.
  • Honest reflections on career transitions and identity shifts. 
  • What it feels like to grow through heavy seasons. 
  • How I’m learning to hold both gratefulness and grief. 
  • A moment of surrender and why I chose to keep it in the episode. 

Current Bible Chapter: Ecclesiastes 3: "There is a time for everything."
