✨ Episode Summary
You know that advice to “only share from the scar, not the wound”? Yeah. I get it. And I also call BS on it — at least sometimes.
Because what if the thing you're living through right now is the thing your people need to hear about?
In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on:
- Why I started writing about infertility before I had anything remotely resembling a happy ending (spoiler: I still don’t)
- What makes vulnerable content feel powerful vs. performative (hint: it's not about how polished it is)
- How to know when it's too soon to share, and when it’s actually safe and healing
- Why some stories shouldn’t come with a lesson, a CTA, or a sales funnel (and that’s okay!)
- How storytelling from the wound builds real-ass connection in a world that craves truth
This one is for anyone who’s ever sat in front of a blinking cursor wondering if it’s okay to say the thing that’s still tender.
It is. And I promise — it’s worth sharing the ugly sometimes.
