What if the biggest thing stopping you from sharing your voice isn't fear—but shame?

In this episode, I sit down with Paige Gordon, live experience advocate, speaker, and author of the forthcoming memoir Searching for Full, to explore how shame shapes our identity, silences our voice, and keeps us from living authentically.

After struggling with bulimia for more than 22 years, Paige transformed her pain into purpose, becoming a leading advocate for eating disorder research, patient-centred healthcare, and mental health awareness. Today, she helps others understand that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about rediscovering who you've always been.

In this conversation, we explore:

How shame keeps us small and silent • Why self-worth is the foundation of confidence • Finding your authentic voice after years of self-doubt • Healing from perfectionism and self-blame • The connection between mental health and personal growth • How vulnerability becomes a strength, not a weakness • Turning your story into purpose and impact • Why your past doesn't have to define your future

If you've ever struggled with self-worth, hidden parts of yourself, or felt afraid to be fully seen, this conversation will encourage you to step into your authentic voice with greater courage and compassion.

Because your story isn't something to hide.

It may be the very thing that helps someone else find theirs.
