24. Plot Twists & Sovereign Love

A dear pet’s recovery. An unexpected goodbye. A dream job that disappeared before onboarding was even over. And a message from someone I never expected to hear from again.

Beloved, the past couple of weeks have been a lot.

In this episode, I’m sharing the relief of Pom Pom’s recovery, the heartbreak of losing Mochi, and the shock of having an entire sales department eliminated just two weeks into my new role. Then comes the biggest plot twist: a heartfelt apology from the person who once disappeared from my life—and an unexpected opportunity to reconnect on sovereign terms.

That reunion opens a deeper conversation about accountability, loving someone without rescuing them, and allowing a connection to unfold without deciding in advance what it has to become.

I also explore why relationship anarchy resonates with me, what sovereignty means within different relationship structures, and how I’m learning to choose honesty, consent, and connection while making room for uncertainty.

What might love look like if we gave ourselves permission to choose it in a way that truly fits?
