In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how this book actually came to life — spoiler: it wasn’t perfect, polished, or carefully planned.

I didn’t wait until I had everything figured out.
I didn’t go off on a writing retreat or hire a fancy team.
I just started — messy, scared, and in the margins of everyday life.

I carved out time between real estate deals, nap times, and client calls.
I used Google, podcasts, and trial and error to figure out what came next.
Some days I wrote two pages. Some days I wrote one sentence. But I kept going — even when it was uncomfortable, even when I doubted myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most honest lessons I had to learn through the unraveling of both my personal and professional life.
I read an excerpt from my upcoming book, a moment that captures the reality of losing what I thought I needed and learning to stand on my own.
This chapter is messy, vulnerable, and painfully relatable. If you’ve ever found yourself starting from scratch, questioning your strength, or wondering how the hell you’re going to rebuild... this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about what it really looks like to come back stronger.

In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the most vulnerable parts of my book — the chapter I almost deleted.
Specifically, the essay I call The Violation.
This wasn’t the first time something like this happened to me, but it was the most recent, the most numbing — and the one I stayed silent about.
Not because I didn’t know what happened, but because I remembered the backlash I got the first time I spoke up.

Including it in the book wasn’t easy, but I kept it in because I know I’m not the only one.
I want other women, other survivors, to know it’s okay to speak up, even when it’s uncomfortable — even when you’re still healing.
I also share how this story turned into chapters about reclaiming power, sharing your truth, and believing other women — and yourself.
