ABOUT THIS EPISODE
At thirteen, I wrote Anatomy of Sadness—a poem that mapped depression onto the human body. In this special episode for Mental Health Awareness Month, I revisit that piece through a digital story and reflective commentary on how we carry pain, survive it, and eventually reshape it into purpose.
This is a raw and intimate meditation on mental anguish, memory, and the quiet power of healing. Even in silence, recovery is still writing its story.
🎧 Tune in to witness how creative expression can illuminate the shadows—and spark hope.
