***************************************
Who are you beyond the labels?
You’ve spent years contorting yourself to fit expectations that were never yours. Your mother’s voice still echoes. She called you irresponsible, and you wore it like a name tag. She labeled you selfish, and you shrank under the weight of guilt. You weren’t discovering yourself—you were memorizing the version of you that others created.
But those labels were never yours to keep.
Letting go means trusting yourself in a way you never have. It means unraveling every false belief you inherited. It means rejecting the notion that choosing yourself is selfish. You are not a problem to be solved—you are a person to be seen. You are not a flaw to fix—you are a truth to embrace.
Reclaiming yourself looks like wearing red lipstick, even if she called it vanity. It looks like walking away from what doesn’t honor you, even if she called it reckless. It looks like deciding that your desires, your joy, and your life are yours to define.
You are not who they said you were. It’s time to find out who you really are.
In this episode, I talk about reclaiming your true self after years of being told who to be. It’s time to break free from generational conditioning, release the weight of false identities, and step fully into your power. Tune in for the truth about unlearning, healing, and boldly becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
