shares the story of her healing journey after being taken from her mother as a child and raised between two cultures, shaped by silence, shame, and emotional abandonment. Taught to stay small and quiet, she lived in survival mode for years until the quiet voice within her refused to be silenced.
This is the story of what it took to stop seeking external approval, unlearn inherited trauma, and nurture both her children and herself with the kind of love she never received.
isn't about perfection. It's about the real, everyday work of healing. It's about seeing softness as strength, boundaries as self-respect, and learning to rewrite your story even with trembling hands.
