In this episode of Literally My Life: My Guide To Girlhood, I dive deep into the reality of trauma and how, just because I carry it well, doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. I opened up about a pivotal moment in my life—the summer after my sophomore year—when my health took a serious hit and everything changed. I talk about how this led to bullying during my junior year, and how those experiences have left me with lasting emotional scars, even though people constantly tell me I look fine on the outside. I’ll also break down what trauma really is, sharing facts about how it affects us mentally, emotionally, and physically. I reflect on the weight of the last three years and how it still weighs on me, even though I’m constantly told I look “healthy.” To wrap it up, I’ll offer advice on how to cope with trauma and share some of the ways I’ve been working through mine—like journaling, therapy, and prayer. This is a vulnerable, real conversation about carrying the invisible weight of trauma and reminding ourselves that healing is a journey.

In this episode of Literally My Life: My Guide To Girlhood, I'm diving deep into my journey of finding genuine friendships. After navigating my junior year alone, I'll be sharing how that experience shaped my approach to building meaningful connections.

In this episode, I’m getting really personal and sharing the story of how my breakup after freshman year completely changed who I am as a person and as a girlfriend. This was my first love, and at the time, I thought everything was perfect. But things quickly went wrong, and it taught me so much about red flags, boundaries, and the importance of never lowering my standards. I’ll talk about how getting sick at the end of my heartbreak actually gave me the time to reflect and rebuild myself.

I also found comfort in unexpected places, like listening to RED by Taylor Swift on repeat, journaling through my feelings, changing schools, and even taking a chance on dating again, even though that didn’t work out as planned. This breakup shaped me in ways I didn’t expect, and I want to share how I came out of it stronger and more self-aware. If you’ve ever felt lost after a relationship or wondered how to find yourself again, this episode is for you.
