About this episode

In this heartfelt sister-to-sister conversation, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with one of my Instagram inspirations, Sian and dive deep into some powerful topics.

We talk openly about mental health, the vulnerability that comes with sharing our journeys on social media, and how it’s okay to show the struggles that many try to hide or repress.

Sian shares her authentic truth with such ease and naturalness, making it feel like we're all just in a conversation with a close friend.

We dive into how relationships—whether with others or with ourselves—can shape our sense of self-worth, and how acne has been one of the biggest teachers on our journey to self-acceptance.

Together, we reflect on the moments when we realized we weren’t feeling our best, and more importantly, how we knew we were emerging from the darkness of depression.

We also explore the healing tools that helped us find peace and clarity again, reminding ourselves that healing is not mystical or out of reach—it’s something we all have the key to unlocking.

This conversation is raw, relatable, and packed with real talk about the challenges we all face, the vulnerabilities we share, and the beauty of finding simplicity and appreciation in life, even after the toughest times.
