Welcome to Scar Tissue the podcast. Here we understand the power that lies within our pain. We have real, raw, and relatable conversations on so many topics of life that will show you that there is not 1 way to live that the word 'should' doesn't exist and doesn't serve us. I will show you that you are meant to live and create your most authentic self and that you are worthy of everything but entitled to nothing. From business, to health, to relationships, to grief - we're going to uncover it all through the stories of the amazing humans that I will interview on the show and through my own stories of experience. Thank you for being here on Season 4!
