In this episode of Hidden Thorns: The Names They Gave Us, The Stories They Told, we explore the profound impact of the names and labels we’ve been given—by our parents, families, and society—and how they shape the stories we live by.

Join me as we examine how these labels have influenced us, and discuss ways to reclaim our personal narrative, heal from past wounds, and redefine the names that no longer serve us.
