Most people think love is something that happens to them.
This conversation with Mikayla challenged that in a big way. We talk about what it looks like to take ownership of how you love—romantically, in friendships, and even in how you treat yourself. Not as a feeling you wait for, but as something you actively practice and build over time.
We also get into her journey with poetry and how writing helped her process relationships, heal, and better understand herself. This one goes deeper than just relationships—it’s about awareness, responsibility, and how you choose to show up for the people in your life.
