If you've been following me, you probably noticed I completely disappeared from all social media for 60 days without any explanation.

Today, I'm finally ready to share why.This isn't your typical "social media detox" story. This is about what happens when life hits you so hard that showing up online becomes impossible, and how I'm choosing authenticity over perfection moving forward.

What really happened:

❤️‍🩹 I was struggling with my mental health in ways I'd never experienced

🏥 I needed professional help and started therapy

😰 I was terrified of showing this "imperfect" side of myself

✨ I kept creating content during this time because creativity was my outlet

🎯 I realized hiding parts of myself was doing me a disservice

The truth is, I was so worried about people's opinions that I wasn't being fully authentic. But I'm done with that. From now on, I'm showing up as my whole self - the messy, real, human parts included.

What you can expect from me now:

- More honest conversations about mental health

- Content about things I genuinely care about

- Authentic storytelling, not just highlights

- Real talk about the ups and downs of life

If you're here for the perfectly curated version of me, this might not be the channel for you anymore. But if you want real, authentic conversations about life, mental health, creativity, and everything in between welcome to the new era.

Thank you for your patience and for being here. Your support means everything.

“Clean eating” sounds like the healthy choice.

But let’s be real, it’s just diet culture with prettier branding.

In this episode of That Girl Magik, I’m breaking down how clean eating became the new face of toxic wellness.

From the shame-packed language we use to label food, to the Instagram influencers selling you restrictive plans in the name of “healing,” this episode will change the way you think about what’s on your plate.

We’re diving into:

🥗 Why calling food “clean” or “dirty” is hurting more than it’s helping

🧠 The top 10 historical moments that created today’s toxic food rules

📉 How the wellness industry profits off your insecurity

🚫 The real reason influencer nutrition advice isn’t helping your gut or hormones

💡 What those labels like “detox,” “natural,” or “low inflammatory” really mean — and why they’re mostly BS

🍽 How to stop obsessing and actually eat in a way that feels good (with peace, not guilt)

If you've ever skipped cake at a birthday, felt guilty for eating bread, or thought about food more than you want to admit this episode is for you.

You’re not broken. You’ve just been fed a lie.And it’s time to eat freely again.

If you’ve ever pulled away from people, social media, or your old routine… this one's for you.

In this episode of That Girl Magik, I’m talking about something we don’t talk about enough — the power of going quiet. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re lost. But because your nervous system said: enough.

I’ll unpack what it means to rebuild yourself in private, why going silent is often the first sign of real healing, and how to navigate the guilt, fear, and pressure that shows up along the way.

We’ll dive into:

• Why silence isn’t failure (it’s survival)

• The pressure to perform healing on social media

• Burnout, overstimulation, and digital boundaries

• What your “quiet era” can actually teach you

• How to come back without losing yourself

Whether you’re disappearing to find peace, clarity, or just a break from the noise — you’re not behind. You’re becoming.
