The Difficult Conversation That Changed Everything

 (La Conversación Difícil Que Lo Cambió Todo en Ingles)

Hi, my name is Liberty. This episode is for you if you've ever felt rejected, alone, or like you didn't fit in. Especially if you come from a family where you didn't feel emotionally supported or were abused, like I did. The truth is, that kind of trauma often stays with us. It makes us afraid to communicate, afraid to ask, afraid to connect.

But I want to tell you a very personal story. Because I learned that when we DO talk, when we DO dare to have those uncomfortable conversations... something beautiful happens: we get closer. We feel. We heal. And I want you to experience it too.

I live in a hotel, and I've been getting to know the people who work here for almost two years. Especially some cleaning ladies. At first, they were just people I exchanged words with. But little by little, they became my family. They listen to me. They greet me with love. They care about me. And that's worth gold for someone with childhood trauma.

But one of them, María, is very special to me. Still, for a while, something felt strange between us. I felt like she didn't like me, that she avoided me, or that she talked about me behind my back with other coworkers And that hurt because I love her very much.

One day, I decided to face that fear. I approached her and said, "I feel like you don't like me. I feel like you're talking about me to other people."

And she, to my surprise, said, "I feel the same way. That you don't love me. That you judge me."

We were in shock.

But then we talked. We opened up. We remembered times when we had shown love to each other. Like when I wrote her a note on her birthday.LIke when she bought my recipe book & I printed it out and put her picture in the cookie, instead of mine.  Like when she cooked me something special. And then I made her video for TikTok in Spanish to help promote her cooking page. Like when she told me, in her own words, "I love you. I love you."

I started to cry. I felt that love. I realized that all that fear, that insecurity... came from the past. From a family that rejected me. That she didn't believe me when I shared my traumas. That she made me feel that love meant having to earn it, keep quiet, endure, and never bother anyone.

But here, with María, I learned something else: that I DO deserve love. That I DO deserve to ask questions. That I CAN have uncomfortable conversations... and that can bring us together.

The hardest part about overcoming trauma isn't the past... it's the silence. It's the disconnection that stays with us, even years later. But today, I want to invite you to talk. With someone. To share your doubts. Your fears. Your feelings. Because that person may be feeling the same thing.

Maybe you, too, think no one loves you, but the truth is, there are people around you who DO love you. And they're waiting for you to open your heart to them first.
