Hey friend — welcome to the very first official episode of The Shit That Matters. 💛

This space? It’s for the ones who are done pretending. The ones craving real, raw, honest conversations, big healing, and a deep remembering of who they are.

Today, I’m taking you back to a version of me who… wasn’t fully me.
The girl who chased love, validation, and worthiness everywhere but inside herself.
The one who looked like she had it all together — but felt empty, lost, and wondering, “Is this all there is?”

I’m talking about:

• The danger of being who the world wants you to be instead of who you actually are.

• How my body started whispering (and then screaming) when I ignored my truth.

• The grief + fear and the freedom that comes when you choose yourself — even when it terrifies you.

• Why it’s selfless to be selfish for a season.

This is me, cracking open the door and letting you into the messy, beautiful, in-between moments that change everything. The ones where you stop chasing gold stars and start chasing the life that actually feels like yours.

So if you’ve been hearing the whispers… if you’ve been wondering “How the hell did I get here?”… this one’s for you.

Because friend — you are allowed to outgrow the version of you that once helped you survive. And you are safe to become who you’ve always been.

✨ Let’s get into it.
