I wasn’t planning to release this episode until December… but honestly? After the year I’ve had, waiting didn’t feel right. This is the soft, gentle return — the “I’m back, but I’m coming in slow and honest this time” episode.
Today I’m sharing why I took a break, what burnout really looked like for me, and the uncomfortable truth about losing yourself while trying to hold everything together. If you’ve felt alone, overwhelmed, emotionally fried, or unsure of who you’re becoming… this one’s for you.
We’re talking about healing, clarity, identity, mothering through exhaustion, and what it looks like to come home to yourself after feeling disconnected for way too long.
If you’re walking into the holidays heavy, tired, or stretched thin, I hope this feels like a warm place to land. I’m back. I’m here. And this next season of the podcast is going to be different — in the best way.
