What happens when you leave home at 18… and don’t come back for 11 years?In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the real story behind my time away — the cold winters, the grocery shock, the friendships and loneliness, the work rejections, the spiritual covering that held me together, and the survival mode that nearly stole my softness.This isn’t just about moving to Canada. It’s about becoming. It’s about what survival taught me — and what I had to unlearn. It’s about navigating life as a Black, immigrant, first-born daughter, far from everything familiar.If you’ve ever felt far from home, far from yourself, or stuck in survival, this one is for you.✨ Real-life stories 💔 Loss, laughter, hustle, healing 📖 The Bible verses my mother marked before I left 💸 Money struggles, immigration realities, and how I finally found LimFi ( link below) 🔥 What I now know about rest, resilience, and the quiet power of returning to yourselfThis is the episode I wish someone had recorded for me 11 years ago.Support the show
