Just Breathe Confessionals
Life Said "Slow Down," and… I Actually Listened.
This week’s episode is a little different — a small check-in on a Monday morning instead of my usual Friday drop. I had planned to release the next Love Chapter on the 14th, but life got busy and I didn’t have the space to record the episode with the care it deserves.
In this mini update, I talk about what I’ve learned from creating the first eight episodes of Just Breathe Confessionals: how speaking out has changed me, how much I’m willing to share, and how comforting it’s been to hear from listeners who relate to my anxieties, childhood moments, and all the messy parts of growing up.
I also acknowledge that there is deeper, heavier trauma in my story — chapters I haven’t shared yet — and those pieces will be explored more fully in Season Two.
The next full Love Chapter, The One Who Helped Me Heal, will drop on Friday, December 6th.
Thank you for listening, for holding these stories with me, and for giving honesty a place to breathe.
Welcome back to Just Breathe Confessionals. As you can see, I'm not dropping this on a normal Friday, but on a Monday morning. This is just a quick little check-in episode because life is lifing right now. I had planned to release the next love chapter last Friday the 14th, the one about the person who helped me heal after the love that broke me, but I honestly didn't have the time or the space to record a full episode the way I wanted to. And instead of rushing something that deserves care, I wanted to come on here and say thank you. Thank you to everyone who has been listening, sharing, messaging, and showing up for these episodes I've been pouring my heart into. It means more than I can ever explain to you. Because these aren't just stories, they're pieces of my life, real things I've lived through, and I haven't even scratched the surface yet. I've learned a lot just from recording these first eight episodes about how I speak, about how much I'm willing to share, and about what I need to share. The more I talk, the more I realize that so much of what I've experienced isn't as unusual as I've convinced myself it was. Anxiety, growing up too fast, puberty being a whole chaotic era, divorced parents, always feeling like the oddball out. I used to think those were things I only felt. But hearing from all of you that you felt the same, that these episodes sound like pieces of your story too, it's comforting in a way I never expected. It makes looking back on those moments feel a little less lonely. And the truth is, there's still so much I haven't even told you yet. There's real trauma in my life, scary things, heavy things, experiences that rewired how I see myself and the world. I've had people tell me they're amazed I never turned to alcohol or drugs with everything I've endured in my life. But sharing these pieces slowly and with intention is how I make sense of it all. Healing isn't picture perfect. It's messy, it's overwhelming, and for a long time, silence felt easier. But my voice matters, and your voice matters too. So the next love chapter, the one who helped me heal, will drop the week after Thanksgiving, on Friday, december sixth. And in season two, we're going deeper into the real trauma, into the things that shaped the woman I am today, and the woman who finally learned how to breathe again. Thank you for being patient with me, for holding these stories with me, and for letting this podcast be a place where honesty has room to breathe. I'll see you in December. And as always, just breathe.
