In this deeply personal episode I share my journey with voice, creativity, and the long road from hiding to being seen. From the silence of bullying, eating disorders, and body shame, to the healing pathways of spirituality, podcasting, and creativity, this is the story of how I slowly reawakened my voice and stepped into visibility.
I take you through the beginnings of my podcasting journey, the birth of Life in Contradiction and Body Diaries, and how holding space for stories became a catalyst for my own healing. Along the way, I reflect on creativity as a force that never truly leaves us, even when buried under fear and conditioning. And how each brave step we take opens the door to even greater expansion.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin - whether it’s podcasting, writing, painting, or sharing your story - this is it.
