But it starts from within.</p><p><br></p><p>Peeling the onion isn’t always comfortable… but it’s how we get to the root.</p>

I’ll share how I began to shed the roles I was taught to play and started showing up in my truth. We’ll talk about the emotional risks, the freedom on the other side, and how you can begin living more aligned with your values, not your wounds.</p>
