The One About Collective Experiences, Body Beliefs, Self Criticism and Using Your Voice with Josie Balka

Josie shares her struggle to accept her voice, find her words and share her lived experience through her “self proclaimed writing” and spoken word. If you’ve ever experienced a changing body (ahem, all of us) or want to find YOUR voice, your story, or just listen to some words to find a place for it all to land, this episode is for you.Check out @JosieBalka on IG & TiktokDiscussions of plastic surgery, near-death, weight loss and miscarriage topics are all in this episode.  Learn more about your ad choices.
