What happens when you stop making their experience the main storyline and instead make it about yours?

This episode isn’t about a guy, it’s about what happened when I finally started taking my own advice.

It’s about showing up, messy, real, and emotionally sunburnt and being seen anyway.

It’s about remembering who the fuck you are in the mess.

Not just after you’ve cleaned it up.

We talk dating (yes), grief (again), the pull of polarity, and how letting someone in during your most vulnerable moment can actually be the beginning, not of a romance, necessarily, but of a reconnection to yourself.

Because your experience? IS valid, even if it was fleeting, even if it wasn’t reciprocated, even if they’re not your person.

If it changed YOU (good or bad) it counts.

And if you learnt from it, it’s yours…

…and that’s enough.

Show up as you.

Bruised, brilliant, unfinished, but you.

That’s when the good sh*t starts.
