Note sull'episodio

People pleasing.

Emotional shutdown.

Hyper-independence.

Being the strong one.

For most of my life, I thought these were personality traits. I thought they were the reason I survived everything life threw at me.

The truth?

They were survival skills.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the lessons I learned as a child, the loss of my dad Steve, the relationships that shaped me, the years I spent carrying everyone else's happiness, and the moment I realized surviving isn't the same as living.

This is a story about grief, resilience, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, and the journey of learning that you don't have to carry everything alone.

If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else... If you've ever struggled to ask for help... If you've ever hidden your pain behind a smile...

This episode is for you.

Because sometimes the things that saved us deserve gratitude...

But they don't deserve permanent residency.
