Forever 34

The Story

This week, Stef reflects on what it means to feel different from the very beginning. A conversation about hyper-independence, childhood, authority, trauma, and the moments that quietly shape who we become long before we have the language to understand them.

From getting in trouble at school to questioning why some people seem wired to challenge the rules, this episode explores self-compassion, healing, and the importance of understanding yourself before judging yourself. Sometimes growth isn't about changing who you are—it's about finally understanding why you've always been this way.
