When a Season is Complete: Saying Goodbye to the Choose To Become Podcast

For the past five years, Choose To Become has been more than just a podcast. It’s been my creative outlet, my sanctuary, and the place I came to process my own growth while holding space for others to do the same. When I first launched it in January 2020, I was in a completely different season of life.

At the time, I was clawing my way out of survival mode, learning how to breathe again after years of numbing, performing, and silencing my own needs. The night before my podcast launch party in January 2020, my personal life turned upside down. Just weeks later, the world shut down as COVID hit. Suddenly, I was homeschooling my kids, navigating co-parenting challenges, and trying to stay afloat in a world that felt heavy and uncertain.

Back then, I was just beginning to understand personal development and healing. I had been teaching yoga for two years, but I hadn’t yet embodied the truths I was learning. Still, I knew there was more for me, and for us, than endlessly performing in roles that no longer fit.

This podcast became a safe place to explore that. It held my grief and my growth. It taught me how to use my voice, even when it shook. And from the messages, emails, and DMs I’ve received over the years, I know it’s been a safe space for many of you too.

But recently, Spirit began whispering to me in quiet moments and dreams: this season is complete.

At first, I pushed it away. How could I let go of something that’s been such a big part of my journey? How could I say goodbye to this space? I told myself I could just push through, create anyway, make it work. But every time I tried, my body said no. My inner knowing said:

Trust me. This door has closed.

And so, I’m listening.

The truth is, I am not the same woman who started Choose To Become. I’ve grown, shifted, softened. I’ve been stretched by loss, love, and life in ways I couldn’t have imagined back then. After losing my brother last year—my only living core blood relative besides my children—something in me changed. It’s been a slow unraveling that’s led me here: to a sacred pause and intentional pivot.

This isn’t goodbye forever. It’s a transition. A deep breath. A moment to pull back and let Spirit lead me into whatever’s next. I can already feel a new chapter stirring—a chapter that’s more intentional, deeper, and more spirit-led.

For now, I’ll still be showing up on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, sharing the work I feel called to do. My coaching program, SOFTEN, begins August 24th for those ready to work with me more intimately. And I have no doubt my voice will find its way into a new, realigned podcast or project in the next few months.

This space has been holy, not because of me alone, but because of you. For every message you sent, every episode you listened to, every time you shared your story or courage—I’m so deeply grateful.

The woman I was five years ago could never have imagined how much this podcast would change her. And now, it’s time to let it rest.

Here’s what I want you to remember: You don’t have to do more to be enough. You don’t have to perform to be loved. You don’t have to hold it all together to be worthy. You’re allowed to soften. You’re allowed to become.

This chapter is complete. And it’s beautiful because it is complete. You can listen to the final episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
