This week, I’m joined by poet and author Nikita Gill, whose powerful writing has helped millions find hope through heartbreak and uncertainty. We explore how language and storytelling can transform pain, how to let go of harmful societal fairytales, and why unlearning shame about our emotions is the first step toward healing. Nikita shares her journey through trauma and self-doubt, from growing up amid conflict to fighting feelings of loneliness and depression. We discuss finding strength in community, redefining our self-image, and embracing the messy, wild parts of ourselves.
