In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the story I’ve been sitting on for months—the one that cracked me open and changed everything. This is the journey of releasing a toxic, trauma-bonded relationship, recalibrating through inner child healing and sobriety, and finally reclaiming the powerful, purposeful woman I am today.

I share my story not to expose or blame, but to liberate—myself and anyone else stuck in the cycle of gaslighting, self-abandonment, or addiction. If you’ve ever wondered why you stayed too long, why it felt impossible to leave, or how to rebuild your life after the darkness, this one’s for you.

I talk about:

• The truth behind my breakup, and how I lost—and found—myself again

• Why trauma bonds and love bombing feel like soulmates

• The pivotal role psychedelics played in ending my relationship with alcohol

• The magic of reparenting your inner children and reclaiming your wholeness

• How to take radical responsibility without shame—and finally come home to yourself

Whether you’re in the storm, crawling out of it, or standing in the sun for the first time in years, this episode is a lifeline. May it help you release what no longer serves, recalibrate your nervous system, and reclaim the you that’s been there all along.
