In this solo episode, I open up about the times I bent my values just to keep the peace—and how it always left me disappointed, drained, and further from myself. I share the moments that taught me the hard way: when you compromise who you are to make others happy, you don’t just lose them… you lose you. This is a conversation about choosing yourself, honoring your standards, and trusting that the right people will rise to meet you when you stop shrinking to fit the wrong ones.
