After nearly a year away from the mic, I’m back... with a story I never thought I’d be telling.

On May 13, I had cervical disc replacement surgery at C6-C7. In this episode, I’m opening up about what led me to that decision, how the recovery process has really felt, and what it’s been like returning to the stage, the audition room, and my full-time job after surgery.

If you’ve ever pushed through pain or felt like your body was holding you back, this one’s for you.

We’re talking:

The car accident that started it all
Years of treatment that never fixed the problem
What it’s like to go from a 9 to 5 to full stop
Getting back onstage just two weeks after surgery
My first in-person audition post-op (spoiler: I forgot part of my cut lol)
What I’ve learned about rest, recovery, and building a new normal
