And yeah… I know I’ve been quiet.

Longer than I expected, but that silence was intentional. I was pouring into something that asked everything of me… my TEDx talk. And in the middle of that, I didn’t have the capacity to keep showing up here the way this space deserves.

This platform matters to me because I know what it feels like to hear something at the exact right moment and realize you’re not the only one thinking it.

So I’m coming back, but not the same way.

Season two is going to look different. No interviews or back-and-forth conversations.

I’ve been writing a lot and instead of keeping it to myself, I want to share it here first.

Since my talk, I have been unpacking what it actually means to break “good girl conditioning”.

What it feels like to become more self-aware… and somehow feel less certain about where you belong. To question the roles you’ve played. The identities you’ve outgrown. The ways you’ve learned to exist in a world that doesn’t always make space for who you’re becoming.

This season will feel more like spoken word, pieces layered with music that’s been moving something in me lately.

I also haven’t felt called to be “on” all the time. I'm "posting & ghosting" and not forcing my content. I share when I feel lie it and then take a step back to let it land.

So that’s what this is. A new rhythm and a different kind of honesty.

Season two of "Hot Takes on Healing" is coming, and I’m really f*cking excited to bring you into this next chapter.

X,
