In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, I share my story—one that I’ve rarely spoken about publicly. From early childhood trauma to the pivotal moments that helped me reconnect with my emotions, this podcast is a testament to the power of vulnerability. I discuss the importance of understanding emotions, how they shape our reality, and why it’s essential to be curious about what we truly feel. If you’ve ever struggled with processing your emotions or felt disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.
Highlights:
- Why I held back in previous interviews and what changed my mind.
- The story of a 7-year-old giving a TED Talk that changed my perspective.
- Revisiting childhood trauma and the impact it had on my adult life.
- How my journey that helped me reconnect with my emotions.
