The Version Of Me I Had To Let Go Of

There's a version of you that believed the road was fair.She worked hard. She showed up. She did everything she was told. And she trusted, completely and without reservation, that merit was the currency. That if you put in the work, the recognition would come.She wasn't naive. She was honest. The road was the one that lied.In this episode, TJ talks about the woman she had to leave behind to become who she is now. The one who believed in meritocracy before she watched people fail up. Before she built a presentation to earn what her colleagues received automatically. Before she spent seasons on the shoulder of a freeway that was never designed with her in mind, fixing her own flats, with nobody stopping to help.This episode is about the grief nobody gives you permission to feel; the loss of a version of yourself that didn't get a funeral. No marker. No ceremony. Just a season that changed everything, and a woman who had to keep moving.If you are carrying a version of yourself you haven't had permission to grieve...this one is for you.Suits & Pajamas. Real situations. Two competing truths. Your lived conclusion. Loved this episode?
