Talk too much? Maybe. But that’s how some of us process and grow. Talking through the discomfort of the messy middle can help us turn struggles into strength.

Talks Too Much is a space for honest conversations about life in progress—when you’re not at the beginning, not at the end, but deep in the chaos of becoming. Whether you’re facing an unexpected diagnosis, a sudden shift in your path, or a challenge you never saw coming, this is a place to unpack it all.

We don’t hide the struggles—we speak them, explore them, and reshape them into something powerful like Alchemists.

Because through talking, we heal—and sometimes, saying it out loud is the first step forward.
