Casting The Net - Reeling In Holistic Health

Smiling Through Survival Breaking the Myth of Looking Okay

• Martha Rice • Season 2 • Episode 61

What If the Strongest Face in the Room Is Also the Most Fragile?

🎙️ Podcast Summary (from Martha Rice):
Right now, I’m in a season where I’m living this myth in real time. I’ve moved back to Chicago—and while it may look like I’m adjusting just fine, the truth behind my smile tells a deeper story. There’s joy in the journey, yes but also grief for what I’ve left behind. There’s peace in God’s plan but also anxiety about the unknown.

This episode is raw and reflective. I’m opening up about what it really means to look okay while not being okay and how healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen.

Let’s drop the mask and be real because healing can only happen in truth.
