What happens when systems reward performance but not truth?
In this episode, Dr. Shumaila Hemani explores the silent injuries of being unseen in academia, the arts, and community spaces. This one’s for those who’ve been overlooked, minimized, or tolerated instead of celebrated.

Dr. Hemani unpacks the worthiness wound—the deep belief that our value depends on perfection, performance, or external approval. From the hustle of overachievement to the ache of institutional erasure, she shares how her body, music, and deep listening called her back to truth and power.
