Today I discovered Alyson Tartary on a podcast, and the mix of admiration and ache she triggered in me felt like truth trying to rise. This letter is my vulnerable exploration of envy as guidance — not something to hide, but something to follow. It’s the beginning of understanding how a lifetime of Good Girl conditioning gives way to sovereignty, clarity, and finally trusting the woman I’m becoming.

Beginnings have always been loud for me — bright, electric, impossible to ignore. Urgent even. They rush in, fill my mind and body with light, and make everything feel urgent and alive.
