I open up about navigating seven years of being single, the breakup that shifted everything, moving back home, financial stress, therapy, and all the emotions I thought I’d already dealt with (spoiler: I hadn’t). A scene from All American hit me hard and made me realize—it’s not about the wedding, it’s about the marriage.

This is my most vulnerable, and I emphasize its importance, acknowledging that it's okay to not always be okay.

Also touching on the realities of job searching and the burden of societal expectations, ultimately highlighting the journey of self-discovery and the importance of checking in on those who seem strong.
