How much of your life have you lived reading off someone else's old script or dancing to someone else's tune? Isn't it time for us all to stop listening to the old voices and live as our Truest Selves?

This week's podcast is my #pride episode -- looking at what haters have taught me about fear vs Love, hiding, pronouns, my True Self -- and stepping into the rainbow.

Inspired by Naomi Osaka's brave conversation about social anxiety and the press, this podcast looks at whether we need to label something an illness to begin to affect change. And how we can all be more honest in co-creating a world that is no longer one size fits all.

How do we keep the quiet that we have grown fond of -- and still emerge into the world? hide, seek, share. This podcast asks and tries to answer those quesitons!
