Listen "Choosing Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful and reflective episode, I talk about the painful journey of losing yourself just to belong — and the courage it takes to finally become someone you’re proud of, even if that means standing alone.For so long, I became a version of myself that wasn’t real — someone I barely recognised — just to feel accepted. I acted in ways that didn’t align with who I truly was. And while I may have “fit in,” I was doing so as someone I didn’t even like.This episode is about the quiet strength it takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out — to show up for yourself when no one else does, to become someone you’d choose even if no one else ever does.We explore themes of self-worth, rejection, growing through discomfort, and redefining what it means to be chosen — not by the crowd, but by the right people, and most importantly, by yourself.🖤 It’s okay to lose people when you find yourself.🖤 It’s okay if the old you doesn’t come back.🖤 The goal isn’t to be liked — it’s to be true.
