Have you ever wondered if knowing what's 'wrong' with you could actually be a good thing? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth dive into their personal experiences with diagnoses and how these labels have shaped their lives. Steph opens up about her PTSD diagnosis, explaining how it brought her a sense of relief and understanding. She felt seen and heard by her psychologist, which made all the difference.
On the other hand, Beth shares her battle with cancer, highlighting how knowing the exact type of cancer she had was crucial for receiving the right treatment.

From ADHD to Autism, understanding what you're dealing with can change your approach to work, relationships, and self-care.
And to wrap things up on a positive note, they share an inspiring story about Shaq's random act of kindness. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that might just change how you view labels and diagnoses.
