Catch Some SoulShine

Radical Self-Love Through the LENS: Healing Stigma with Carey Kirkella and Dawn Renee Bova

Dawn Renee Bova Season 2 Episode 22

In this powerful episode of "Catch Some Soulshine," Dawn sits down with Carey Kirkella, an acclaimed photographer and creator of the Lens Method. As an international best-selling author of "Radical Self Love," Carey's work is deeply rooted in her mission to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health. 

She courageously opens up about her own battle with bipolar disorder, sharing the challenging journey of hospitalizations. Her second hospitalization following the loss of her sister to breast cancer and her moving forward with her own wedding a month following that loss. At the suggestion of a friend, photographing sisters and later capturing the strength and resilience of breast cancer survivors, proved to be a powerful tool of healing. 

Postpartum psychosis and anxiety resulted in another hospitalization, but Carey persisted in her passion for photography, highlighting its unwavering presence throughout life's trials. 

Through the Lens Method, which implies Light, Empathy, Now, and Storytelling, Carey fosters connections and healing by empowering individuals to share their stories through the lens of a phone camera. Having experienced profound healing herself, Carey now witnesses the transformative power of photography in the lives of others, guiding them towards healing and self-discovery through the art of visual storytelling with her program.

Join Dawn and Carey in this candid conversation as they delve into the profound impact of embracing vulnerability and self-love on the path to healing and transformation.
