I’ve been in constant go-mode lately, and it made me think about my 20s. Back then, so much of what I did was about making my parents proud. At various points in my youth, I felt like the black sheep of my family. Unsure of my path. Starting things, doubting myself, stopping. Perfectionism, fear, so many mistakes — and so much learning. For a long time, I felt like I had something to prove. Like I had to make it up to them. Show them I could live up to my potential. But as I step into this new era — with my 39th birthday coming up in a few months— I’m realizing something quietly powerful. It was never really for them. It was for the little girl in me — the one who felt abandoned, scared,imperfect. The one who just wanted to feel safe and enough. Everything I built and am building, is to heal her. And in doing that, I am the woman she always hoped I’d be. And I’m still on that journey.The podcast I’m building next is simply the next step — a deeper chapter of where I’m going. I’m excited to bring you with me, and to share everything I learn along the way.
