What I Didn't Know: Conversations on Resilience, Healing, and Becoming
In 2018, after years of checking off boxes and chasing approval instead of truth, I found myself sitting on a kitchen floor for the first time facing the uncensored story about everything in my life that wasn’t working.
Since then, it's become my passion to share the knowledge I’ve gained in order to help people help themselves.
Welcome to What I Didn't Know — a podcast about the lessons life has taught us the hard way. Life is difficult sometimes; around here we’re getting better through healing out loud. This is a space for honest conversations—about letting go, courage, resilience, and becoming.
