From Temples to Triggers: What China Taught Me About Surrender, Strength & Staying True to Myself

In this deeply honest and reflective episode, I take you with me on my recent trip to China—a journey that was as spiritually awakening as it was emotionally challenging.

From standing in awe before the Big Buddha in Wuxi to navigating disrupted routines, makeshift park workouts, and unexpected knee pain... to the real stretch: extended time with family whose values no longer align with my own.

This episode is about more than travel—it's about what happens when you're pulled away from your comforts, confronted by your growth, and called to choose peace over pleasing. I share the sacred, the messy, and the magic that happens when you stay rooted in your truth—even when it’s uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever found yourself changing in a space that expects the old version of you... this one’s for you.
