Healing My Inner Child: The Woman I Was Meant to Be

In this deeply personal episode of Tea with D, I reflect on a side-by-side photo of myself on my 2nd birthday and my 29th. Looking at that little girl made me realize something — she had no idea what life would ask of her. She didn’t know she would lose her dad at 22. She didn’t know she would find herself in relationships that weren’t meant for her. She didn’t know how much healing, growth, and self-discovery would be waiting ahead.

In this episode, I share the journey from grief to growth:

• How therapy helped me understand myself
• How I learned to love being alone
• How healing the hardest parts of my story helped me become the woman I am today

And somewhere along the way, after finding myself and rebuilding my life, I discovered something I once questioned if I deserved — a love that feels safe.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re still figuring life out. Because the truth is, the little girl you once were had no idea how strong you’d become.

So pour yourself a cup of tea and join me for a conversation about loss, healing, independence, and becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
