The Scars
Welcome to The Scars Podcast - a series hosted by Suzi Dale, a radio and audio producer with a lifelong connection to the stories scars can tell. Suzi knows firsthand what it’s like to live with visible scars - since an accident at the age of seven, she’s spent years navigating self-acceptance and resilience. Now, she’s opening up the conversation, sitting down with incredible guests who share the powerful stories behind their own scars. But The Scars Podcast isn’t just about scars - it’s about strength, growth, and transformation. In each episode, guests reveal their personal journeys of overcoming adversity, embracing their differences, and finding light in even the toughest moments. Expect honest conversations, reflections on healing, and even a few laughs along the way. A standout moment in every episode is the “Letter to My Scars” - an intimate, moving reflection where guests explore what their scars have taken, what they’ve given, and how they’ve shaped their lives. With new episodes dropping monthly, The Scars Podcast is here to create a space for real talk, connection, and community—a place where everyone can feel seen, heard, and empowered to embrace their own story.
