We’re talking about what it’s like to heal in real time, fall in love while falling apart, and why writing my truth was the scariest (and most freeing) thing I’ve ever done.


You’ll hear about:

This is the episode I wish existed when I was 15—curled up in a quiet corner of study hall, trying to catch my breath, feeling older than the room I was in, and dreaming of a life no one else could see.

In this episode, I sit down with something tender:

the truth that love, on its own, isn’t always enough.

I talk about what happens when someone says they love you—

but still lets you slip through their hands.

When you’re showing up with your whole heart,

and they’re only half-listening.

When the connection is still there,

but the effort isn’t.

We’ll go there.

To the ghosting. The almosts. The timing that never aligned.

To the quiet heartbrea...
