Hey y'all, and welcome back to another episode of "This is for Us." As always, I appreciate your time and support. I hope you're doing amazing and that your week is off to a great start. If you're listening to this on Monday morning, I hope this week ends up being incredible for you.

Today’s episode is a bit different—I'm sharing some real, raw, and honest thoughts from my past week. It hasn’t been the easiest, and I struggled with feeling sick, down, and not like myself. But I’m here, showing up because I believe in being transparent with y'all, even when things get tough.

In this episode, I discuss how a difficult week made me question myself, my work, and my dreams. I talk about the internal battles we face, especially when we're not feeling our best, and how important it is to push through those moments of doubt.

Key Points:

• Being Honest About Hard Times: Sometimes, life throws us curveballs, and it's okay to admit when we're struggling. This week was one of those times for me, but I’m sharing it because I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

• Learning to Trust Again: A listener asked a powerful question about how to trust someone after they’ve hurt you. I explore the complexities of forgiveness and trust and whether it’s possible to fully trust again after being burned.

• Self-Doubt and Overcoming It: When we’re down, it’s easy to fall into old patterns of negative self-talk. I share my experience of battling these thoughts and how a conversation with a friend reminded me of the importance of what I’m doing with this podcast.

• Choosing Forgiveness: I discuss the importance of making conscious choices—whether it's forgiving someone who’s hurt you or deciding to move on from a situation that no longer serves you.

• The Power of Community: A reminder that we're all in this together. When one of us is struggling, we can lift each other up. This community is a place for real talk, support, and growth.
