What I Know Now is not a lesson…. it’s a testimony.

In this episode, I tell the truth about who I was before healing, what pain taught me, and how God turned my deepest wounds into purpose. I speak honestly about surviving instead of living, loving from emptiness, staying where I knew better, and finally choosing myself without guilt.

This episode walks through childhood wounds, family patterns, unsafe relationships, therapy, boundaries, singleness, faith, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. It’s about...

Joseph wasn’t a boyfriend. He wasn’t a fling.

He was the friend who saw me when I didn’t even know how to be seen.

We never said it out loud, but I felt it. And maybe he did too.

This is the goodbye I never got to give and the truth I...

This episode is all about true friendship and the hard, honest road it takes to get there. I’m talking about the loneliness before the love, the lessons that broke me, and the women who showed up when I stopped begging to be chosen. Sit back, feel your feelings, and let this one remind you: you’re not hard to love just used to surviving.

I was stood up… but I didn’t fall apart.

Instead, I found clarity. In this pilot episode, I unpack the moment that sparked it all. How being left alone became the mirror I didn’t know I needed. This is where the journey began: not with heartbreak, but with the decision to choose me. Welcome to Contrary to Popular Belief™️, a safe space where healing isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it.
