In Part 4 of The Rise Series, I continue sharing my journey of rebuilding self-trust and learning to listen to my intuition after years of overriding what I knew deep inside. I open up about my unexpected high-risk pregnancy, the gut feeling that something wasn’t right, and the decision to seek a second opinion when I was told everything looked okay. That experience became a powerful turning point in trusting my body, honoring my inner wisdom, and realizing that even when an authority figure disagrees, we still have permission to listen to ourselves.
I also share a frightening experience from my early 20s that taught me just how powerful our instincts can be, and how those moments helped me reclaim my voice and personal power. From there, a new chapter begins as I move to a new town, grow more confident in my career, and decide to enter a bikini competition despite everything I had been taught about modesty, my body, and self-expression. This episode is about trusting your intuition, overcoming fear, rebuilding confidence, and having the courage to become a version of yourself you may have never imagined.
