In this episode of The Music of Life, I share something a little unexpected—and honestly, deeply validating. Out of pure curiosity, I asked ChatGPT a question about leadership in the toxic and high-conflict divorce space, and what came back stopped me in my tracks. What started as a simple experiment turned into a powerful reflection on lived experience, healing, and the impact of sharing our stories out loud.

I walk you through what was said about some of the most recognized voices in narcissistic abuse and toxic divorce recovery—and then what was said about me. This episode isn’t about ego or titles. It’s about meaning, growth, and what happens when we reclaim our humanity after trauma. I’ll leave you with an open question that I truly want your thoughts on.

In this week’s episode, I open up about something deeply personal that happened right before I hit record—a meditation that moved me to tears. I’ve spent the last year planting seeds, keeping my head down, and working with so much intention… and now I’m starting to feel those manifestations taking shape. It’s overwhelming in the most beautiful way.

I share how I approach manifestation from a place of light, love, and clarity—no dark energy, no spell work, just pure alignment, gratitude, and specificity. I talk about the lists I’ve written, the “movie clips” that randomly play in my mind, and why tapping into your own intuition and purpose can change everything. If you’ve ever wondered how to manifest with intention—or if you’re simply craving a reminder that your dreams are allowed to be big—this episode is for you.

Episode Highlights:

[0:22] – Opening up about meditation, emotions, and why the tears flowed
[1:05] – The truth about manifestation and clearing up common misconceptions

[10:37] – Where to find me on social media and when new episodes drop

In this week’s episode, I’m opening up about something I touched on earlier today over on TikTok—why it is okay to talk about the realities of a toxic divorce, and why sharing our experiences doesn’t automatically mean we’re “bashing” anyone. I’m diving deeper into what it means to tell the truth, stand in your emotional maturity, and use your story as a beacon for others who feel like they’re barely surviving the storm.

I also explore what healing has actually looked like for me—how far I’ve come, the resilience I didn’t even know I had, and the profound peace I’ve found in my new life. If you’re navigating isolation, confusion, or the aftershocks of someone else’s destructive behavior, this episode will help you feel understood, validated, and far less alone.

Episode Highlights:

[0:02] – Welcoming everyone and setting the intention for open conversation.
[0:22] – Expanding on today’s TikTok about sharing the truth of a toxic divorce.
[1:05] – Why telling my story matters and how it supports and inspires others.
[2:45] – The court attempt to shut down the podcast—and what the ruling affirmed.
[3:18] – Speaking truthfully vs. “bashing” and why emotional intelligence matters.
[4:20] – The scale of the smear campaign and the isolation it created.
[5:20] – Reflecting on the painful dynamics from the marriage and divorce.
[6:41] – The sleep-schedule differences and the inconsiderate behaviors that escalated.
[7:30] – Reclaiming peace, joy, and freedom in my new home and new chapter.
