In this first episode of The Light Becomes Her, I take you behind the curtain of my life. Sharing how years of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and numbing through alcohol and relationships eventually led me to rock bottom. And more importantly, how that rock bottom became the starting point for my healing.

This episode is part story, part invitation. You’ll hear how I found my way into sobriety, how I began facing the fears and wounds I’d been running from, and how choosing healing over hiding completely transformed my life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, or you’ve wondered if it’s really possible to step into the woman you were meant to be, I hope my story helps you feel seen, hopeful, and not so alone.
