• [21:00] Full-circle callback to Episode 2's bus
• [22:00] Extended finale CTA, Thank you & Outtro

Teaser: A new phone, an old phone named Cinderella, and the quiet, unglamorous proof that you've actually changed.

Description: Miki reads "No More Drunk Texts," a recovery story that measures transformation not in sobriety chips, but in an eight-year-old phone finally being retired. This episode explores self-forgiveness, identity, and the physical, embodied residue of a life lived differently.

Episode Highlights:

• [0:06] Cold open — how do you know you've changed?
• [0:55] Frame: why this story reaches beyond the recovery community
• [1:35] Full reading: "No More Drunk Texts"
• [17:20] Unpacking: Cinderella as a witness to the old self
• [18:30] Thanking rather than shaming the past self
• [19:15] Measuring change in ordinary time, not just milestones
• [20:10] The body's own recovery — "my hands are clean, too"
• [21:05] Closing reflection & CTA

Momentum Quote: "This new phone will never help me send a drunk text. It will never have to."

Metta Question: What's the object in your life that's quietly witnessed your own transformation? And if it could speak… what would it say?
