In this deeply personal episode, I share the real reason why I lost my consistency with podcasting and it’s a story I’ve never fully voiced until now.

After navigating the trauma of a DV relationship, I found myself silenced not just emotionally, but spiritually. The podcast, once a sacred space for expression and empowerment, began to feel unsafe. I lost my spark. I disconnected from the very thing that helped launch my business and allowed me to share my truth with the world.

But today marks the beginning of something new.
Today, I reclaim my voice.

I’m returning to this platform not just as a businesswoman or mentor—but as a woman committed to documenting the truth of her spiritual journey, even when it’s messy. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s transformative.

There are major transitions unfolding in my life and business, and I want to invite you behind the curtain as I navigate them—with vulnerability, honesty, and a renewed commitment to show up.

If you’ve ever felt the fear of being seen, or struggled to find your voice after life tried to silence it, this episode is for you.

This is the return.
This is the rebirth.
This is only the beginning.
