Summary

In this episode I dive deep into the messy, beautiful reality of being human—our wounds, our patterns, and the radical responsibility it takes to break free from them. I share candid reflections on my own past mistakes, the lessons my father taught me about curiosity over shame, and how unresolved pain shapes the way we love, live, and even scroll. From betrayal and self-abandonment to the distractions of technology and the power of true presence, this conversation is a call to reclaim your sovereignty, rewrite your story, and create relationships and communities rooted in integrity and compassion. This is not just about listening—it’s about seeing yourself, healing, and stepping into a more powerful way of being.
