In this heart-centered episode, I dive into a deeply personal reflection sparked by a recent conversation with my liver doctor—a conversation that turned into a powerful reminder of how far I’ve come, both physically and emotionally. From revisiting my journey through liver disease to confronting the bittersweet dynamics of my current relationship with my daughter, this episode holds space for vulnerability, healing, and full-circle moments that reminded me of my own strength and sweetness.
I also open up about something I’ve hidden most of my life—my immense capacity to love. Through the lens of childhood memories and recent emotional insights, I share what it’s meant for me to reclaim that part of myself. If you've ever felt like you needed to hide who you truly are, especially when it comes to expressing love, this episode is for you. Tune in as I talk about embracing authenticity, showing up fully, and why I believe now is the time to stop holding back.
