The Grief and Liberation of Becoming Someone New; Letting go of who you were to discover who you are
In this week's episode, Izzy explores what happens when the identities we have carried for a long time start to shift. From careers and relationships, to the roles we have played in the world, many of us built a sense of self around labels that may eventually no longer fit.
Letting go of those identities can bring grief, uncertainty, and discomfort, but it can also open the door to a deeper, more authentic understanding of who we truly are. This episode is about navigating that in-between space and learning to embrace your evolution.
This is a great episode for anyone navigating change, a transition, feeling stuck in their life, or wanting to get to know themselves on a more authentic level.

Who Gets Protected? Diving Into the Epstein Files, Abuse, and Why Online Groups for Women Exist
In this week's episode of Make It Make Sense, Izzy dives into the Epstein files, systemic abuse, and the uncomfortable question: who actually gets protected?
From high-profile cases to “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” online groups, this conversation explores why women are increasingly turning to each other for validation and safety, and what that says about the systems meant to protect us.
Izzy shares personal reflections on abusive dynamics, the loss of self-trust that follows, and why speaking out often leads to further punishment instead of accountability.
Izzy also dives into the call for change we are seeing within our systems and the call to ask men to look inward and face themselves and their shadows.
