Summary

“The darkest part of ourselves have to also be made known to us”

  • Lorraine Toussaint

This week we are joined by the talented actress and writer Lorraine Toussaint to discuss the importance of being unafraid in EVERY aspect of our identity and the transformative healing that occurs once you forgive your inner child.

Lorraine shares the pivotal introspective healing she was able to accomplish while playing the character “Vee” from Orange Is the New Black. She encourages us all to explore the parts of ourselves that we run away from and often suppress because it’s too “dark” or “shameful”. This episode explores the idea that the most difficult parts of our lives are always the most responsible for our evolution into strong dynamic individuals.
