These past few days, I’ve been immersed in The Experiment with Melanie Ann Layer - a raw, revealing space where we’ve been asked to meet ourselves with radical honesty and compassion. And let me tell you: it cracked something open in me.

This episode? It’s the unfiltered result of that. It started as an article for Reawaken Quarterly… but it needed to be spoken now.

✨ In this episode of Reawaken You, I share a deeply personal story - the moment a simple coaching question brought me face-to-face with the coping mechanisms I’d built my entire identity around. Hyper-independence, control, perfectionism… all of it, rooted in the childhood belief that I could never break down. That needing help was unsafe.

But what happens when we finally stop performing strength and begin to meet ourselves with truth?

This episode is an invitation - to pause, to go inward, to see yourself. It’s for every woman who has ever been terrified of her own truth, and for every soul who is ready to remember who she was before the world told her who to be.

🧡 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, or wherever you get your soul food. Because healing doesn’t begin when we fix ourselves. It begins when we stop being afraid of who we really are.
