In this episode, I open up about a feeling that’s been sitting in my chest — the ache of letting go of what I thought I had with my situationship, and the uncomfortable truth that it was never what I believed it to be.

While visiting my best friend in Chicago, I found myself reflecting on connection — what it means, how it breaks, and how it heals. And then, out of nowhere, a guy I hadn’t talked to in years slid into my DMs. Old me might’ve used that as a distraction. But this time, it became something deeper — a mirror for how much I’ve grown.

We talk, we flirt, we disagree on things (hello, Florida politics), and yet I noticed something powerful: I wasn’t shrinking myself to be liked anymore. I was showing up as me — honest, grounded, and aware of what I value.

This conversation became less about him and more about how communication reveals who we’ve become.
How honesty — with ourselves and others — builds the foundation for trust.
How the way we listen, speak, and hold boundaries shapes every connection we have.

If you’ve ever found yourself replaying old conversations, wondering what you could’ve said differently — or trying to unlearn the habit of silencing yourself just to keep the peace — this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about verbal, emotional, and conscious communication — and what it really means to show up for yourself and others with truth, compassion, and courage.
