For most of my life, I lived on autopilot. I was constantly achieving, constantly doing — but rarely feeling. I didn’t even realize I was emotionally disconnected. I just thought I was “handling business,” like I always had.
I grew up in an environment where emotional expression and loving vulnerability weren’t the norm. So I learned early on to armor up. When I graduated from college, I went straight into being a police officer in the streets of Detroit. A woman. In uniform. In a space where there was no room for softness. No time to be emotional. No space to be feminine. Vulnerability wasn’t just uncomfortable — it felt dangerous. And I needed my partners to trust that I’d have their back. So I buried any part of me that didn’t look like strength.
