Why Growing Up Made Me Lose Myself (and How I Got Her Back)

When I was 13, I loved creating content. I even had a YouTube channel — until someone told me no one would want to watch it. That one comment made me shut down my creativity and left me feeling resentful of others who were brave enough to keep going.It wasn’t until years later, through reflection and healing, that I realized what had really happened: I had abandoned my younger self. In this episode, I share the story of how I reconnected with her, what I learned about why so many of us lose touch with who we are as kids, and practical ways you can start finding your joy again.If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself along the way, this episode is for you.
