In this episode, I’m opening up about why I broke up with my old life (and started over) at 30.
After losing sight of my bigger vision and falling into a version of life that looked good but didn’t feel right, I had to get honest with myself about what needed to change. We talk about quitting a job, letting go of friendships, navigating fear, and what it really means to choose yourself without having everything figured out.
Journal prompt of the week:
What in my life am I choosing because it’s familiar, not because it feels right?
