It's one of the most vulnerable chapters I’ve ever written, sharing the raw truth of my journey—through the highs and heartbreaks of marriage, the unraveling of who I thought I was, and the deep soul-searching that led me to uncover my true purpose. These pages are a reflection of what it means to break free from the stories we’re handed and start listening to the quiet nudges of the soul. As you listen, my hope is that you feel less alone in your own unraveling and more empowered to step into your truth. This chapter is a reminder that we don’t have to follow the rules we never agreed to. We get to redefine our lives, set boundaries that honor our worth, and rise from whatever ashes we’ve known.
