Episode 9: Unlearning the Woman I Was Taught to Be

This episode is one of the most personal ones I've shared.I was taught to be strong, composed, selfless. I didn't realize until years later that I was also taught to shrink; to silence my needs, to put everyone else first, to be the version of a woman that made other's comfortable.But healing meant I had to unlearn her.In this episode I talk about:- What it looked like to unravel those old versions of myself.- How my mom's love helped me rebuild from the inside out.- The grief of feeling out of place after leaving Hawai'i- And the journey of finally feeling safe enough to be me -- all of me.I'm not the woman I was raised to be. I'm the woman I chose to become. And that changed everything for me.
