    When Do You Become Yourself? | EP 2

    What does it really mean to become yourself? In this episode of Our Garden, Samone sits down with her longtime friend Fawn Winters for a conversation about identity, independence, and the beautifully winding path of becoming. Fawn reflects on leaving home at eighteen, describing the experience as "free-falling into a whirlpool"—equal parts exhilarating and terrifying—and how that leap became the beginning of discovering who she truly was. Together, they explore chosen names, growing up biracial and bisexual, family expectations, and the quiet courage it takes to define yourself beyond the stories others have written for you. Along the way, they share memories of first apartments, complicated family dynamics, unconventional relationships, heartbreak, and the lessons that emerge as we learn where our boundaries begin and our truest selves are allowed to bloom. By the end of the conversation, both women look back on their younger selves with tenderness, reflecting on the reminders they wish they'd carried sooner: choose yourself, make room for your emotions, and trust that becoming isn't a destination to arrive at, but a lifelong practice of returning home to yourself. A Gentle Note: This episode includes conversations about family conflict, sexuality, infidelity, and substance use. 🌸 Connect with Fawn on instagram → FawnWinters tiktok → FawnWinters 🌸 Connect with us on  instagram → joinourgarden tiktok → joinourgarden  ✹ For business inquiries, reach out to samone@joinourgarden.com
