There was a time in my life I had to make an impossible choice: my job or my child.
As a single mom trying to build a career, I was carrying more than just work stress — I was carrying the pain of knowing my son was being mistreated by someone I had trusted. I was forced to ask myself, what happens when no one is watching?
It was during this dark season that my community — my village — showed up for me. They held me together when I was breaking.
In this episode, I share my curveball moment — navigating work-life balance, asking for help even when it was hard, and learning that healing takes time. I talk about the emotional toll, the mental health aftermath, and how empathy and community saved my son and I.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure whether you’d make it through — this story is for you.
