What does it mean to grow up visibly different?
In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Steven Bouris, who was born with a Nevus (birthmark) on his forehead. For decades, he lived under constant stares and questions — often in silence. But everything began to shift when he finally shared his story, and discovered that vulnerability could lead to healing, connection, and purpose.
This conversation highlights the weight of carrying unspoken pain, and how breaking the silence even just once can change everything. It’s a powerful reminder that the parts of us we often hide are exactly where our strength begins.
