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’.

The notion of embracing ‘mental beauty’ is the next way to see mental health
… and when you dare to share… you break the silence, speak your truth, use your voice, and inspire others to do the same.
