What’s on your skin reveals what’s within. In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the surprising psychology behind body art. How trauma, identity, and the need for control can all shape what we choose to put on our skin. Together, we look at new research, share personal stories, and challenge the idea that self-expression is always conscious. This conversation will make you question not just what you wear on your body, but why. We’re not here to judge, we’re here to awaken. Hit play and see what your body art might be saying about you.
