What if healing isn’t a single turning point—but a slow returning to yourself, moment by moment, breath by breath?

In this deeply intimate episode of ILA Radio, host Laura Alyn sits down with Samantha Mandel—producer, creator, and co-host of Skirts Up—to explore how illness, intuition, and creativity reshaped her sense of identity.

Samantha shares how functional seizures disrupted her life, how silence became its own teacher, and how the process of making a podcast with her best friend became a portal: a way to speak her truth, reclaim her agency, and meet herself anew.
