Ever held back from sharing your story because you were afraid of what people might say? I get it.

Years ago, I wrote a deeply personal article about how I healed my acne and PCO naturally. I never expected it to go viral—let alone be translated into 8 languages. But what came next was an unexpected lesson in visibility… and the brutal reality of the internet.

The comment section? BRUTAL.
The DMs? Life-changing.

In this episode, I dive into:
✨ How my story spread worldwide (and what happened next)
✨ The real price of visibility—the good AND the ugly
✨ Why the fear of judgment holds so many people back
✨ The unexpected impact of sharing your story (even when it feels scary)
✨ How to confidently show up online—without letting the haters get to you

If you’ve ever second-guessed whether your voice matters—this one’s for you.

PS. if you want to see the before and after photos I mention in this episode you an find the original article here.
