What if the thing you’re chasing isn’t what you’re actually looking for?

In this deeply personal episode of Road to Victory, I reflect on lust, loneliness, purpose, and the search for genuine connection. I share how chasing experiences can sometimes become an attempt to fill an emptiness that only healing, purpose, and love can reach. We also explore how our wounds can turn us into distractions—not just for others, but for ourselves.

I talk about working with children, not because I have kids of my own, but because I realized I needed somewhere healthy to pour my love while I continue learning how to fully love myself.

We discuss:

• Why lust often promises what it can never deliver
• The difference between being desired and being deeply known
• How unhealed pain can make us our own biggest distraction
• Why genuine love sees a person, while lust only sees an experience
• The importance of finding healthy places to give your heart
• Learning to heal instead of constantly trying to fill the void
• Becoming someone who loves from fullness instead of emptiness

Healing isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming whole enough that you stop asking temporary pleasures to solve permanent needs.
