There comes a moment when choosing yourself is no longer optional, it is necessary.

In this solo episode, Roni shares a deeply honest reflection on the power of not settling in relationships, career, and life. From stepping outside her comfort zone and experiencing a brief heartbreak, to recognizing how staying in a misaligned job disrupted her peace, focus, and nervous system, Roni walks listeners through what it truly means to choose alignment over distraction.

This episode explores:

• How settling shows up in subtle ways

• Why temporary attention can pull you off purpose

• The impact misalignment has on your mental health and nervous system

• How faith, intuition, and discipline guide better decisions

• Why being hopeful and focused can coexist

If you’re in a season of building, healing, or learning how to trust yourself again, this conversation is a reminder that what you choose today shapes the life you live later.
