What if the thing that breaks you wide open is actually the thing that sets you free? In this episode, I’m getting real about one of the hardest chapters of my life: the moment I found out my partner cheated on me and how that pain cracked me open to my truth, my body, and my purpose. We’re talking about what happens when your world falls apart and how you can use movement, truth, and a little rebellion to find your way back home to yourself.

I’ll share what it looked like to completely fall apart -feeling sick, lost, and disconnected from everything I’d built- and how one wild, simple nudge to “get high and go dance” pulled me out of the dark. That dance changed everything. It helped me release the crap I’d been carrying, reconnect with who I really am, and build something that actually feels like me- what later became the World Groove Movement.

If you’ve ever been betrayed, burned out, or just done pretending you’re okay, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about why community matters, why movement heals, and how owning your story is the most powerful thing you can do. No filters, no fluff, just real talk, real healing, and a reminder that you already have everything you need to rise again.
