Learning how to live
What happens after you wake up from the life you were told to want?
At 34, I walked into rehab emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. My best attempt at life had failed.
After years of therapy, recovery, spiritual study, and deep self-work, I began to rebuild work, love, health, self-worth from the ground up.
This podcast shares the raw stories, lessons, and conversations from that journey, with practical tools for anyone reimagining their life after breakdown, burnout, or awakening.
You don’t have to escape your life you can build one worth staying for.
