Episode 9: I broke hearts.....to protect my own

from Pretty and Painful · host Bailey Lewis

This one’s not easy to say out loud…There was a version of me that didn’t love right.I kept people close—but never close enough.I controlled everything.I broke hearts… to protect my own.Not because I was heartless—but because I was scared of how deeply I could feel.In this episode, I’m opening up about the walls I built, the damage I did, and what it actually looked like to take accountability and change.Because healing isn’t always pretty.Sometimes it’s realizing you were the one hurting people…and choosing to do better anyway.This is about learning how to love without losing yourself.About softening… without becoming weak.And understanding that maybe…you weren’t “too much.”You were just loving from a place that needed healing.
