Ep. 2: LIVING. LEARNING. HERNIATING

📍GUATEMALA 🇬🇹 | JULY 2023 Two years ago today, I took a flight to Guatemala that changed everything. I didn’t know I was beginning a journey that would reshape my body, my language, and my life. This episode is a time capsule — rooted in discovery. A spine injury. A conversation with a neurologist who speaks four languages. A realization about fluency, flow, and healing. Sometimes life delivers the message before you’re ready to understand it. This was one of those moments. Today… I understand.And I’m ready to share it.
