Ego Death and Coming Home

I chose to walk away from what looked perfect on paper. An ego death that stripped away every label, every external validation, every performance.

At twenty-nine, I walked away from everything I had built. Not because it was failing. Because it was succeeding. And the success was no longer mine.

That is what ego death actually is. Not a spiritual experience on a retreat. It is the slow, painful, beautiful process of watching everything you thought you were fall away and discovering what remains.

What remains is always, always enough.
