Season 2 Finale: A Look Back
Welcome back to another episode of Stigmas and Open Wounds! I’m Traci, and with me is Eric. We’re excited to share that this is our Season 2 finale, and a Season 3 is on the way! While we’ll keep the essence of our podcast, expect some exciting changes as we delve deeper into our lives and experiences.
What to Expect in Season 3
- More Personal Stories: We’ll be sharing more about our lives, particularly focusing on neurodivergent experiences.
- Travel Insights: We plan to discuss our upcoming vacation and share our travel diaries, highlighting the beauty of different cultures.
Embracing Personal Growth
As we reflect on our journey, both through travel and life experiences, we recognize the importance of personal growth. Understanding ourselves better has been a transformative process, especially as we navigate our identities and emotions.
The Journey of Self-Discovery
- Recognizing Depression: Acknowledging mental health challenges has been crucial. Understanding that depression can affect our personalities allows us to explore who we truly are.
- Exploring Neurodivergence: Identifying as neurodivergent has opened up new avenues for self-exploration. We’re learning to differentiate between our authentic selves and the personas we sometimes adopt in various situations.
The Joy of Being Authentic
- Being Yourself: Embracing authenticity has led to more enjoyable experiences. By simply being ourselves in different situations, we’ve discovered a newfound freedom and joy.
- Absorbing Knowledge: Engaging in deep conversations and consuming diverse content—like books and podcasts—has allowed us to grow and evolve. We’ve become “sponges,” soaking up insights from various sources.
The Power of Deep Conversations
One of the main drivers of our growth is our commitment to having meaningful conversations. We thrive on discussions that go beyond surface-level interactions and delve into the complexities of life.
Why Deep Conversations Matter
- Learning from Each Other: Our talks help us understand ourselves and each other better. We often reflect on our experiences, which enhances our personal growth.
- Creating Content: We’re considering recording our conversations to share with our audience. This could lead to exciting new episodes that reflect our ongoing journey.
Conclusion: Embrace the Journey
As we transition into Season 3, we encourage you to embrace your own journey of self-discovery. Life is about the connections we make and the understanding we gain through experiences. Whether it’s through travel, deep conversations, or simply being true to yourself, there’s immense value in the process.
