Staying & Leaving

This episode wasn’t planned.
It arrived.

In a quiet moment at the kitchen table, just minutes before pressing record, I felt my mom step in and ask to be heard. What followed is one of the most honest, emotional, and unfiltered conversations I’ve ever shared.

This episode is about staying and leaving, and the unseen cost of both choices. It’s a love letter to someone who found the courage to walk away just yesterday, a message for someone who feels stuck and may not yet realize it, and a direct message from my mom for the one who already knows—deep inside—what it will take to make the pain stop.

It’s also a reflection from me — someone who has lived through all sides of staying and leaving. Someone who has seen what happens when people stay, when they leave, and when they stand at the beginning unsure of which way to go. In this episode, I’m here alongside my mother, holding space for each of them as they navigate their own path — not in judgment, but in recognition.

This isn’t about right or wrong.
It’s about seeing the pattern, understanding why we’re drawn into certain roles, and honoring the truth that we’re not placed in each other’s lives by accident.

In this episode, we explore:

• The emotional toll of staying in relationships that are already broken

• How generational trauma quietly repeats itself

• Why guilt and hope often keep people trapped longer than love

• The difference between fixing something and sacrificing yourself

• And what it truly means to choose your life

This message is channeled, unscripted, and deeply personal.
If something in this episode resonates with you, trust that it found you for a reason.

Some relationships can be healed.
Some require leaving.
And some require the courage to finally choose yourself.
