In this first episode, we journey into the soul of artistry through the words of Nina Simone:

“An artist’s duty is to reflect the times in which we live.”

But what does that reflection look like when you're still healing? When you're stepping out in faith with trembling hands, creating from a place of truth rather than perfection?

I speak on the courage it takes to move authentically, the sacred responsibility of the artist, and how honoring our creativity is not just self-expression—but an act of wholeness, resistance, and remembering.

Nina Simone was not just a singer; she was a mirror. And in this moment, I invite you to become one too.

In this first episode of Becoming Whole, I introduce myself and the podcast's purpose: sharing my journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. I reflect on how I used to stay quiet, letting others define me, and how finding my voice has been a powerful step toward healing.

I talk about how thriving in chaos was easy for me, but finding true peace was a struggle—until now. I share how I've been unlearning old habits, embracing my imperfections, and focusing on living out my soul's purpose, regardless of how I'm perceived.

This podcast isn't just my story; it's a space for anyone ready to reflect, grow, and embrace all parts of themselves. If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or like your voice didn't matter, I invite you to join me. Together, we'll unpack life's challenges and start becoming whole, one step at a time.

New episodes drop every week. Until next time, take care of your soul.
