How Do You Know When It's Time To Put Yourself First?

What does it really look like to respect yourself, but through all the mess and changes of real life? In this episode, I sit down with Gaby, owner of the finest Miami French Restaurant ( and my favourite), Frenchie's. I ask him questions what it means to make choices for yourself, even when the path is unclear or unconventional. Drawing from Gabriel’s story of moving countries, failing, starting over, and learning hard truths about honesty and self-care, I’m looking at how our work, our families, and our sense of risk all shape how we show up for ourselves and others. If you’ve ever felt torn between responsibility and authenticity, or wondered what it takes to rebuild your own sense of purpose, this one’s for you.
