ADHD Didn’t Ruin My Life — Not Understanding It Did

In this episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal that I’m still actively learning and integrating: my late diagnosis with ADHD and the clarity, grief, and healing that came with finally understanding how my brain works.

For most of my life, I thought something was wrong with me, that I was lazy, inconsistent, emotional, overwhelmed, or just not living up to my potential. I constantly felt like I was falling behind, struggling with things that seemed easy for everyone else, and masking internal chaos that no one could see. But discovering that I’m neurodivergent helped everything click into place, and for the first time in my life, I feel compassion for myself instead of shame.

I’m sharing my real experience with:
✨ Internal chaos and time blindness
✨ Hyperfixation, rumination, and emotional overwhelm
✨ Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) & attachment patterns
✨ Masking, perfectionism, and people pleasing
✨ Eating the same foods, routines, and sensory needs
✨ Meditation, nervous system regulation, & healing my autoimmune disease
✨ How ADHD shaped my relationships, self-worth, and identity
✨ Why understanding yourself changes everything

And most importantly:
How ADHD became my superpower instead of something that held me back.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, “too much,” or like you’re not reaching your potential, you are not broken. You are not lazy. Your brain is simply wired differently, and once you have the tools and support you deserve, you become unstoppable.

Trauma Bond or True Love? How to Tell the Difference

Ever mistaken chaos for chemistry? You’re not alone. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into attachment styles, trauma bonds, and why so many of us confuse emotional intensity with real love. I break down how anxious and avoidant dynamics create addictive highs and lows, why your brain literally craves the person who hurts you, and what secure love actually feels like — calm, consistent, and safe.

Whether you’re healing from a toxic connection or learning to spot the red flags earlier, this episode will help you stop outsourcing your peace and start attracting partners who regulate your nervous system instead of wrecking it.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ The difference between trauma bonding and genuine connection
✨ How anxious and avoidant attachment styles feed off each other
✨ Why “spark” isn’t always chemistry — it’s often dysregulation
✨ What secure love feels like (and why it might feel “boring” at first)
✨ How to stop confusing chaos for passion and start choosing peace

“You’re not missing passion — you’re detoxing from instability.”

Mentioned in this episode:

• The book Attached by Amir Levine & Rachel Heller
• Healing your attachment style through self-regulation and secure partners
• How nervous system regulation changes who you’re attracted to
• The real “glow up” — when you stop craving chaos and start craving peace

Listen if you’re ready to:
💫 Break cycles of anxious or avoidant relationships
🌿 Learn what secure, healthy love actually feels like
❤️ Reclaim your peace, your power, and your glow

The Real Glow Up is Coming Back to Yourself

This week, we’re redefining what it really means to glow up. It’s not about the fake tan, the filler, or the filters — it’s about healing, coming home to yourself, and embracing the version of you that feels the most real. I’m sharing how I’ve been letting go of outdated beauty habits, learning to honor my natural skin tone, and reconnecting with what makes me feel confident from the inside out.

From internal peace to skincare, boundaries, and self-acceptance, this episode is a reminder that the real glow-up happens when you stop trying to be someone else and finally become you.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ How external beauty routines can mask inner insecurities
✨ Why embracing your natural features is the ultimate act of confidence
✨ Healing your relationship with your body, skin, and self-image
✨ The link between health, self-care, and authentic radiance
✨ What it means to glow from within — physically, emotionally, and spiritually

“The real glow up isn’t something you achieve — it’s something you uncover.”

Mentioned in this episode:

• Color theory & dressing for your natural undertones
• The impact of beauty standards on self-worth
• Tips for building confidence through self-care
• My personal skincare and wellness reset

Listen if you’re ready to:
🌿 Feel beautiful in your own skin
💫 Let go of comparison and perfectionism
🌸 Reclaim your confidence and glow from the inside out
