You Can’t Heal What You Don’t Name

Ever felt that small tug in your chest that whispers, “I miss me”? This kickoff to Season Three leans into the tender grief that surfaces when you stop shrinking to fit other people’s comfort. We talk candidly about the invisible costs of people pleasing—energy leaks, stalled creativity, dulled desire, performative joy—and why naming them becomes the most compassionate first step toward alignment.

I share real moments from holidays and networking rooms where I looked competent on the outside while my inner voice planned an escape. That contrast sets up the oh moment: the instant your body says no while your mouth says yes. Instead of blame, we choose clarity. We break down how grief and honesty unlock a quiet, durable freedom you can feel in small ways: a pause before answering, an unadorned no, the relief of watching someone’s disappointment pass without you dissolving.

If you’re wondering what to take off your plate, I offer a simple decision filter: Does this match my energy now? Would I say yes if no one saw? Will future me be grateful or furious? When it isn’t a clean yes, it’s a no—and a no is just information. We also normalize the weird in-between: the restlessness after you stop overgiving, the impulse to refill your calendar, the nervous system relearning that safety doesn’t require exhaustion. The antidote is restful space you didn’t earn, followed by curiosity-led choices that rebuild desire without guilt.

By the end, you’ll have language for your grief, a structure for your boundaries, and permission to move slowly—because slowly is the fastest way to become the you that’s been there all along. If this resonates, hit follow, share with a friend who’s done being small, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to themselves. Your freedom starts here—one honest yes, one clean no, one brave breath at a time.
