THE 'DARE TO SHARE YOUR UNTOLD STORY' PODCAST
Breaking down the barriers of mental stigma. Embracing the ‘mental beauty re-think’.
‘Dare to share your untold story’ has been brought to you with the intention to breakdown barriers of mental stigma and invite guests into a safe space to share with vulnerability their full story — no matter what part of the journey that they are in, beginning, middle or end. As a society we are conditioned to keep some of our most painful stories a secret. No matter what we each have suffered with or what strife we have faced — there is always a part of our story that remains untold. The ‘untold story’ has a lot to do with the impact on mental health which we shy away from sharing. So, let’s expose what we suppress and embrace the invitation of ‘mental beauty’.

… and when you dare to share… you break the silence, speak your truth, use your voice, and inspire others to do the same.
