Mirror Talk: Making Peace with Your Reflection with Audra Bryant

"You deserve to be loved and to love yourself— flaws and all. And you can move powerfully from that." —Audra Bryant

Perfection is a myth—real beauty begins the moment you dare to show your scars.

We spend so much energy hiding our scars—physical or emotional—believing they make us less worthy. But what if embracing those imperfections is the key to real confidence, deeper relationships, and a life that feels truly free? If you’ve ever felt trapped by self-doubt or the pressure to be perfect, this episode is your permission slip to let go and start living boldly.

Audra Bryant is a burn survivor who spent years unable to look at her own reflection, only finding the courage to face herself in the mirror at age 25. Now a certified life coach and author, she draws on her extraordinary journey to help others embrace their scars, rewrite their stories, and step boldly into self-acceptance.

Join Heather and Audra as they explore the journey from self-criticism to self-acceptance, share practical ways to rediscover joy as an adult, and reveal why your story—scars and all—deserves to be seen and celebrated.
