Imprinted Stories

Lisa speaks from a place of healing and health, but what she reflects on are some difficult topics: drug use, a suicide attempt, self-harm, homelessness, and abuse. She wears her past and her scars openly, showing strength and bravery in her journey to sobriety.

Lizzie talks about a scar on her forearm she got as a result from a childhood accident, and how the mark led to an emotional struggle for many years.

Jennie is tough and seemingly fearless: we talk about xenophobia, falling from a construction site as a child, an ankle-shattering altercation, and how scars are marks that show you've truly lived.

This is a story about resilience. After 7 miscarriages, IVF treatments, and multiple surgeries, Meaghan discusses two scars on her hips and her and her husband's journey to start a family.

Celia jokes that she doesn't have any traumatic or dramatic stories; she gives us a light-hearted interview going through the different scars on her body, including her tattoos.

This is a really beautiful, philosophical, thought-provoking conversation on some really ugly topics: rape, trauma, and suicide.  Sophia Franciscus talks about a very dark part of her life and how she's grown, reflected, and processed those things.

Dr. Mobi approaches the topic of scars from a medical background, and explores how be self-reflective on your lifestyle is key to living a happy, fulfilling life. He touches on a scar he has on his neck, and how that surgery required him to alter his own lifestyle.
