In Part 6 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my story: the truth about my divorce and the intuition I ignored for years. I open up about what I believed marriage was supposed to look like, why leaving felt impossible, and how I slowly began realizing that I could no longer keep abandoning myself. I also share how communication, self-love, and trusting your inner knowing became central to the way I see relationships today.

I also take you inside the therapy sessions that changed everything, including the unexpected warning that pushed me to finally understand my finances and pay attention to what was really happening. What I discovered became a major wake-up call around financial awareness, self-trust, difficult relationships, and the importance of advocating for yourself. If you’re navigating a hard relationship, separation, or divorce, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone and reminds you that facing the truth can be the beginning of your rise.
