This podcast is a safe space for stories to be told. My intention is to create a place to share, learn, laugh, and cry. Mark Groves once said, 'if you want to find what matters to you, find what breaks your heart and then pursue teaching others how to overcome that.' I kept waiting for the perfect time to start, and in turn, I am still waiting. I have broken my heart over and over again waiting for other people to be ready, when it was me that needed to start. Come along on this adventure into the unknown. I have no idea what I am doing, but I am pretty excited to learn along the way.

After feeling lost for nearly two years, I've found myself again and am starting a new journaling series focused on purposeful healing and radical self-acceptance.
