In this episode, I’m stepping outside my usual comfort zone and doing something I don’t do often — sharing a personal story. It’s a moment in my life that changed the way I see the world, and more importantly, the people in it. Sometimes, it takes a simple experience to truly reveal the character of those around you — who’s genuinely there for you and who only shows up when it’s convenient.

This story is one of those turning points — a situation that, in a way, 'fixed' my vision and helped me see everything more clearly. If you've ever had an eye-opening moment like that, I think you’ll relate.

So, tune in to hear what happened, how it shifted my perspective, and why I believe these experiences, though painful, are necessary. And if you’ve gone through something similar, I’d love to hear your story too.
