I have been a little scared to share this… but here we are.
I changed my name in Peru. I went from Lee to Tala.
This wasn’t just a name change. It was an identity shift I could no longer ignore.
I’ve been moving through a huge internal transformation. Shedding old versions of myself that felt safe but weren’t actually true anymore.
The one who stayed quiet.
Who held back.
Who waited to feel “ready” before being fully seen.
This new version of me?
She doesn’t do that.
She speaks.
She leads.
She expresses, even when it feels uncomfortable.
And if I’m honest, that’s been the hardest part.
Because being seen at this level requires letting go of control and allowing yourself to be witnessed in the in-between.
Not perfect.
Not fully “figured out.”
But real.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to become someone bigger, more expressed, more you
But keep shrinking yourself to stay comfortable, this is your sign.
You don’t wait to become her.
You choose her and you let it feel uncomfortable.
I’m no longer available for shrinking myself to make you feel more comfortable. Sorry not sorry.
What about you?
Join me in reclaiming your truth and becoming your most authentic expression.
With an open heart,
Tala 🫶🏽
