I’m Done Shapeshifting: The Moment I Took My Life Back
A deeper reflection on what it means to stop living for others and start living in alignment. This is the story behind The Feel-Good Fit.
There was a moment in Fall 2024 that changed everything for me.

The truth? I was tired. Not just physically, but spiritually tired—from years of shapeshifting into what other people needed me to be.
And so, I stopped.
I left that role with love and stepped into the unknown—launching myself into my therapy career, my PhD program, and the early seeds of The Feel-Good Fit. Not because it looked good on paper, but because it felt right in my bones.
