Sonia Iris Lozada - Important to Me: Boundaries & Becoming

In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, Sonia shares her poem Important to Me—a deeply personal reflection on boundaries, emotional independence, and the journey back to self-worth. Blending poetry, psychology, and spirituality, this episode explores how external expectations can shape identity, and how reclaiming personal truth becomes an act of healing. Sonia reflects on self-preservation, the fear that can keep us stuck, and the quiet strength required to move forward. This episode is for anyone learning to release what no longer belongs to them and step into a life aligned with what truly matters.
