The Key to Finding True Love Was to Stop Hiding (ft. My Person, Lee)

What if being fully yourself is the very thing that attracts the love you’ve always wanted? For years, I believed I had to be easier, smaller, less emotional, less intense, less me to be loved.

But then… I stopped hiding. I showed up in all my weird, sensitive, expansive, messy magic—and the love of my life saw all of it… and said, more please.

In this special episode, I’m joined by my partner, Lee, for an honest, heart-opening conversation about what it looks like to build a relationship grounded in authenticity, mutual respect, and deep emotional safety. We talk about what made this relationship different, how we navigate conflict, and the non-negotiables that keep us anchored.

We explore:

✧ What authenticity in relationships really feels like

✧ How honesty creates emotional safety

✧ Navigating conflict through communication—not performance

✧ Why mutual respect is non-negotiable

✧ Using humor as a healing tool

✧ Co-creating the future without losing individuality

✧ How personal growth within partnership keeps the connection alive

This one is for anyone who’s been told they’re too much, too intense, too emotional—and is holding out for a love that embraces all of it.
