What do you do when the past doesn't always stay in the past? In this episode, I'm getting honest about the cycles we fall back into — the ones that surprise even us — and where they actually come from.I'm sharing my own story about speaking — from passing out giving a speech in high school, to being told "leave the preaching to the men," to losing my vision and hearing and thinking that ship had sailed for good. And how a counselor finally helped me see what was really driving all of it. 5 Takeaways from this episode:The patterns that surprise us — the ones that feel out of nowhere — usually aren't out of nowhere at all.You can accomplish a lot and still feel like it's never enough if you're chasing something from your past.Stuffing the past doesn't make it go away — it just waits for the wrong moment to surface.When something makes you feel "off," get curious instead of dismissive. Ask: when have I felt this way before?This week's challenge: get curious about what's surfacing from your past — write it down, draw it, or share it.
