In a world that tells us to hold it together, even when we’re falling apart, why do we hide our emotions like they’re something to be ashamed of? In this episode, I unpack the science and stigma around public vulnerability — and why feeling out loud might just be the bravest thing we can do.

Sometimes, the pain that shapes us doesn’t come from big moments — it comes from the quiet ones we brushed off.

This is my “deep breath before diving in.” I talk about what pushed me to finally speak out, why I started My Mind, Out Loud, and what I hope this space becomes — for you, and for me.
