Welcome to Encountering Faces, a podcast where I share the wisdom I have learned from overcoming adversity in a world where we aren't so kind to people who are different. Born with Sebaceous Nevus Johansson Syndrome, a condition that affected the right side of my face and scalp, I underwent 39 operations throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Beyond the physical obstacles, I battled PTSD, extreme anxiety and bouts of depression. Through my determination of healing, I have emerged stronger with a wealth of knowledge to share in how to live a life not dictated by fear. The greatest act you can give humanity is to heal the disconnect you have within yourself to then access the greater connection all around us.
