In this powerful and deeply personal episode,we welcome back bestselling author, publisher, and speaker Lynda Sunshine West. Together, we explore the raw truths behind success—the struggles, healing, and self-discovery that don't make it into the highlight reels.

Lynda shares how running away at age five and not being "rescued" shaped decades of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and fear—and how she reclaimed her worth by facing one fear a day for a year. The conversation dives into the damage caused by gaslighting, the inner work of rewriting personal narratives, and the radical act of vulnerability in leadership, business, and storytelling.

Whether you’re writing a book, healing from trauma, or trying to rediscover your voice, this episode will remind you that your story is worthy, and sharing it can spark powerful connection and impact.
