You Are Not Your Past: Why I Choose to Build, Not Dwell

I didn’t have the easiest childhood—violence, instability, substance abuse. But I’m not here to unpack it. I’m here to say: it happened, and I chose not to let it define me.

In this episode, I talk about why I don’t lead with my trauma, how I process what happened without making it my identity, and why the victim mindset—though tempting—isn’t where I want to live. The past is my raw material, not my full story.

If you’ve had a tough start too, this one’s for you. Not for pity, but for power. For direction. For choosing forward.
