Hi, I’m Misha
And for a long time, I lived in the space between knowing and doing.
I knew something in my marriage wasn’t right.
I knew I was shrinking.
I knew my body was telling me the truth long before I wanted to hear it.
But I stayed.
And left.
And stayed again.
I filed for divorce three times. Each time hoping I was wrong. Each time trying to talk myself back into a life that looked “fine” but didn’t feel like mine.
This blog isn’t written from a mountaintop.
It’s written from the middle of it — the ache, the unraveling, the quiet rebuilding.
I started Conversations With My Younger Self because I journal constantly — and often, what comes out is me talking to the version of me who first felt afraid.
Who first wondered if maybe she was meant for more.
Who still believed being “a good woman” meant disappearing a little bit every day.
If that’s where you are too, you’re not alone here.
This is a space for the woman who knows — even if she won’t say it out loud yet.
A space to feel, process, grieve, and maybe get just brave enough to take the next tiny step.
I’m not here to tell you what to do.
I’m here to show you what it looked like to finally listen to myself — and what I’m learning as I keep doing it.
What you’ll find here:
- Soft journal-style blog posts (written to myself and my younger self)
- Free resources like the Clarity Compass to help you navigate your own fog
- Stories about leaving, staying too long, loving someone who didn’t show up, and finally choosing peace
If you’re in that stuck place — where nothing is really wrong but nothing feels right either — I made this for you.
You can start here or grab my free Clarity Compass here.
We’re walking this together.
With so much empathy
Misha
