In this deeply personal episode, Kiyomi reflects on the journey that began in 2017 with her first vulnerable video about Relationship OCD (ROCD). She shares how that one act of courage has grown into a global movement through Awaken into Love, helping thousands find words for their pain and a path toward healing. Kiyomi revisits her journals, old Facebook photos, and memories from 17 years of living with ROCD. She shares how her pain became a portal for transformation—not just for herself, but for thousands of others around the world. She introduces the four core pillars of Awaken into Love: Humanness – Embracing the shared experience of suffering and healing. Love – Redefining love in its most truthful and unconditional form. Empowerment – Reclaiming your worth and releasing the shame and hyper-responsibility often tied to ROCD. Awakening – Using ROCD as a catalyst for growth, connection, and purpose. Kiyomi opens up about stepping back from the spotlight, expanding the team with incredible coaches, and continuing to grow behind the scenes. She speaks of healing, her now-thriving relationship, and becoming a mother—proof that life can radically transform. She ends with a loving invitation to join the free 31-Day “Back to Love” Challenge, a journey she’s taking alongside the community to reconnect with love, self-compassion, and hope. https://free.rocdcourse.com/backtolove ✨ "Your ROCD doesn’t define you—it awakens you.
