what comes next — the building. And spoiler alert: The “building” phase is not a glamorous HGTV-style montage where your life transforms in 3 minutes with a cute soundtrack. It’s messy. It’s awkward. It’s equal parts “hell yes” and “what the actual hell am I doing?”

From childhood abuse and trauma to surviving domestic violence, rape, and suicidal lows — this is my unfiltered journey of rebuilding from self-loathing to self-love.
