Messy, Honest, and Growing—Three Months into the Podcast

It’s officially been three months since I started my podcast—and wow. What a journey.

When I first started, I began by interviewing my friends. I figured it would feel natural, easy. And in some ways, it did. But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t fully letting my personality shine through at first. I was still holding back. Still in my head. Still worried that people might judge me, or not “get it.” That fear of not being accepted? Yeah—it lingered.

But here’s the truth: this podcast feels like something I was meant to do. I can feel it deep in my soul. So I kept going, and slowly, something shifted.

I’m starting to find my groove. I’m beginning to trust myself, speak with more confidence, and just be me—the full, unfiltered, sometimes goofy, deeply feeling version of me. And the conversations I’ve had? They’ve all been so different, so rich, and so deeply human. Each story offers something unique, but what they all have in common is this: a sense of community.

And that community? It’s been healing me.

Each interview has inspired me in a different way. Not only to keep going with the podcast—but to be a better, more present, more connected version of myself in everyday life. I find myself slowing down in conversations, listening more, and honestly… just being more aware. It’s made me a better person.

But this was never just about me.

My vision for this podcast has always been to create a space where we can all grow—where people feel safe to be vulnerable, silly, open, emotional, curious, real. I want us to be the kind of community that supports one another not just when things are going well, but in the mess too. Because that’s where the healing happens.

This past year? It was one of the hardest years of my life. I was waking up every day and forcing myself out of bed. I had so many moments where I didn’t feel like myself. Where I felt dark. And yeah, I’ve done the work—yoga, breathwork, meditation, all of it. I still do. But what really pulled me through was connection. It was choosing to speak up instead of shutting down. Sharing my struggles with people I trusted. Getting honest.

That honesty saved me.

At this point, I feel unshakable in a way I never have before. I’ve stopped letting the fear of being misunderstood silence me. I’m no longer hiding the parts of me that are multifaceted. I’m not “just” a wellness girl or “just” into spirituality or “just” anything. I’m everything I want to be—a little chaotic, super curious, sometimes spiritual, sometimes skeptical, goofy, grounded, emotional, playful, serious, inspired, human.

I used to think I had to pick a lane—be the yogi, the clean-eater, the air fairy, the spiritual girly, the fitness person. But I realized that wasn’t my medicine. My medicine is freedom. It’s being able to change. To evolve. To eat meat again if I want to. To eat sugar sometimes and not spiral. To relax my shoulders and just be.

And that’s what this podcast has given me.

Even though it’s a slow start, I feel the momentum. I’m healing. I’m learning. And I’m not stopping.

I’m going to keep going. I’m going to keep creating.

Because this? This is just the beginning.
