I was 14.
Still a child.
Still figuring out who I was.
Still believing attention meant worth.

And like so many of us, I learned way too early how to shrink, perform, and harden myself just to feel chosen.

This chapter of Quiet As Kept is about what happens when girls are forced to “grow up” before they’re protected, affirmed, or even seen.
It’s about how survival starts disguising itself as confidence.
How silence becomes a habit.
How we normalize what should’ve never been normal.

If any part of your story includes learning life the hard way,
being sexualized too soon,
or carrying shame that was never yours to hold…

This book is for you.

📖 Quiet As Kept isn’t just something to read.
It’s something to feel, unpack, and heal through.

👉🏽 Grab your copy.
👉🏽 Read it slow.
👉🏽 Let it meet the younger version of you that never got a chance to speak. #

January wasn’t flashy.
It didn’t come with big wins or loud breakthroughs.

It came with truth.
And honestly? That was enough.

This month, I’m not performing healing.
I’m practicing it.

February is about SELF:
self-trust, self-honesty, and self-respect that shows up even when it’s uncomfortable.

If January taught you something, too…
sit with it. Honor it. Carry it forward gently.

🎧 EPISODE 7: Better Me Is Quieter. Clearer. Unavailable.

The healed version of me doesn’t argue.
She doesn’t explain.
She moves differently.

Not louder.
Not harder.
Just clearer.

This episode isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about integration.
Choosing peace without announcing it.
Being unavailable for what no longer aligns.

If you’ve listened to this whole series, this one is for you.

🎧 The final episode of New Year, Better Me is live now.

Binge the full series.
Download every episode and come back to them when old patterns try to pull you back.
