a message from, Ron’Zena
this podcast is a safe space to share the triumphs and tribulations that come with growing up. join me as I heal my inner child, by documenting my experiences in hopes to help others who may be feeling lost, need encouragement or just want to laugh!
If you’re reading this right now and feeling lost, hi — so am I. You know it’s actually funny that I am feeling this way, because growing up I remember I couldn’t wait to be in my twenties.
There was something about aging and the freedom that came with experiencing another year around the sun that seemed so fun. Well, now I am 26... pushing 27 and I feel more lost than I ever did in my teens.
I think this has something to do with the pandemic and a set back of plans I had made for myself and thinking of where I should be right now.
But my therapist says, “***should***, holds a lot of weight”. And not to mention, I also did not account for a pandemic, so I’m 0/2 right now. Anyways, all this to say – I am feeling stuck. I can tell you what I want, but for some reason I’ve gotten so afraid of loosing my effed up sense of security, as is, that I am afraid to go after what I want.
That’s never been me. Afraid to follow my dreams? Younger me would laugh at you and myself, too.
I’ve always been a confident individual, even at times when I probably shouldn’t have. But that was okay because I believed in myself. I haven’t been able to do that as much recently. Maybe it has something to do with the fear of putting myself out there only to be rejected, or maybe it has something to do with not knowing where to start and being overwhelmed with the many options #decisionfatigue.
But, someone I love dearly once said to me “if you take one step each day, then soon you’ll look back and you will be on top of the mountain,” so this is me taking that one step forward, on-to the rocks.
My story is not unique, I am just choosing to share, and the reality is there is me in all of you who choose to listen.
On The Rocks with Ron’Zena, is my way of making sense of the triumphs and tribulations that come with growing up, so if you’re feeling lost, stuck or like your life is “on the rocks”, I am here to say you are not alone.
And most importantly, this podcast and blog are dedicated to little me. A girl who lived her life free of the opinions of others, unafraid of the world around her and surrounded with love and inspiration from each of her encounters with humankind.
Here’s to making younger me proud, keeping present me sane, and building an audio diary for future me to listen back on and acknowledge how far we’ve come.
We all go through it, so let’s get into it!
