What Really Happened: From Rock Bottom | Chapter 1
Update: 2025-09-22
Description
In this episode of Getting There
I open up about my recent silence, the overwhelm of living online, and the courage it takes to begin before you’re “ready.”
👉 You don’t need the whole staircase to take the first step.
👉 Growth happens in the messy middle, not the polished finish.
Tune in for a raw conversation about fear, vulnerability, and finding courage in uncertainty. 🌱
