Welcome to Blooming Out Loud, where survival meets softness. Hosted by NYC-based trauma therapist Halie Rose Bloom, this podcast explores the raw, unpolished, and deeply human journey of healing and self-acceptance. In this episode, Halie reflects on being diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression at 12 — and how growing up feeling rejected fueled her drive to carve her own path. From challenging school systems to becoming the lead plaintiff in a disability rights lawsuit, Halie shares how she turned every “no” into fuel for advocacy and growth. Her story unfolds through college hardships, life in NYC, and a powerful transformation while studying social work at NYU — ultimately embracing the bold, unfiltered version of herself she was always meant to be. This episode is for anyone in the messy middle — navigating identity, rejection, and resilience. Blooming Out Loud reminds you: you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
