In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the emotional battles I've faced—starting in high school and continuing through the years from 2019 to 2024. I share the silent fight with depression, the toll it took on me, and the choices I made that seemed like solutions at the time but came with consequences I wasn’t prepared for.
This conversation is about more than just my story—it's about the importance of speaking up, being emotionally honest, and recognizing that silence doesn’t heal. I dive into how carrying pain in silence impacted my life, why emotional awareness is key, and how treating others poorly during your own low points only deepens the damage.
If you're struggling, know this: you're not alone, and you don’t have to suffer in silence. This episode is a raw, unfiltered reflection meant to inspire self-checks, growth, and healing. I’m not perfect and never will be, but I hope my journey can serve as a mirror for yours. Let this be a reminder to speak out, reflect, and grow—because change starts with honesty.
