What if your strength comes from the very thing, you were told was your weakness?
In this episode, photographer, musician, and educator, Tone Deff, joins me for a gentle and introspective conversation about emotional suppression, self-worth, and stepping into your truth---one choice at a time.
 
We discuss:
- Growing up isolated in a deeply religious household, and how photography became a way to see and be seen
- Struggling with vulnerability after being taught that pain should be hidden---not healed
- Why avoiding discomfort isn't sustainable, and how growth starts with choosing your own peace
- The quiet tension of envy and freedom---how he and his siblings look at each other's lives with admiration, but also with longing
- How reading and reflecting on ancient philosophy helps him navigate modern struggles
- His journey to unlearn the lie that "my pain doesn't matter because someone else has it worse"
