Heal Out Loud is the podcast for anyone who's done pretending they're fine when they're really falling apart inside. It's for the ones who've been to therapy, read the books, tried to 'fix themselves' and still feel lost, unworthy, and alone. Hosted by Nicole Polidano, foster mum and Inner Child Healing Coach, who went from a traumatic childhood marked by a drug-dependent mother, an absent father, and years in foster care… to finally finding peace, freedom, and self-love from the inside out. For most of her life, Nicole felt broken, and it showed up everywhere: in her relationships, her career, and the way she spoke to herself. But healing her inner child changed everything. She built healthy, loving friendships, started a thriving coaching business, and created a life rooted in joy, calm, and genuine self-worth. Each episode blends science, soul, and straight-up honesty to help you heal the parts of you that still feel unseen and unworthy, so you can finally feel whole, loved, and at home in your own life. Listen in and start becoming the person you've always needed.
