We Grew Up Together Then We Had To Choose Each Other
If we had been adults when we met — we would have been that crazy couple that got married within weeks. Thirty years later — here we still are. This is my love story.
Written reflections on each episode — a space to go deeper on the themes we talk about on the show.
If we had been adults when we met — we would have been that crazy couple that got married within weeks. Thirty years later — here we still are. This is my love story.
I dedicated this episode to Luke, my dad, Enrique, and my mom. Grief is one of the things we carry the longest and talk about the least. This is what I have learned from carrying it.
At some point I stopped asking how do I build more — and started asking something I had never made space for before. What do I actually want?
I never planned to be a leader. I planned to be a nurse. And then one yes changed everything — and I spent years figuring out what I was actually building toward.
My nurse midwife said something to me during my pregnancy that I have carried for almost thirty years. She told me my teenage pregnancy was a part of my story. But not my whole story.
My daughter saved me. But growing up fast started long before she arrived. At 13, I lost my brother Luke — and everything that came after was shaped by what that loss asked of me.
I used to think that by 45 I would feel finished. Instead, I feel aware — of how much I've built, and how much of myself is still unfolding.
