Many times on this show, I’ve talked with guests who were keeping secrets. Not secrets entrusted to them by others—but secrets about themselves. These secrets might be past actions or experiences that they felt shame around. It might be a difference, a unique quality about themselves that they kept hidden, for fear of rejection or of judgement from others. We’re in-between seasons at Art Heals All Wounds, which gives me the great opportunity to share with you an episode from one of my favorite podcasts, Beyond 6 Seconds. Beyond 6 Seconds is hosted by Carolyn Kiel. Most of her guests are either neurodivergent or have a disability. Carolyn herself is autistic—and I say “is autistic” rather than has autism because that’s what Carolyn prefers. Carolyn is a skilled interviewer and with her help, her guests share their stories of coming into their own, thriving, and helping others to thrive, too. I’m sharing Carolyn’s interview with Ruth Rathblott, someone who hid her limb difference for years. Ruth doesn’t hide it anymore. As she shared in her TEDx talk, when she stopped hiding her difference, she found freedom. If you’d like to be free of something you’re hiding from the world, this might just be a great story for you to hear. I’ll include a link back to the Beyond 6 Seconds website so that you can read the show notes from the episode with Ruth Rathblott and check out more episodes from this show.
