Do you ever feel like we are just trading empty words about the weather while our true hearts remain hidden behind a wall of polite silence? In this episode of Make Me Smile, we step away from the safety of small talk to explore the terrifying, yet beautiful terrain of deep conversations and meaningful connection. I invite you into a vulnerable space where I confront the invisible barriers that distance us from the ones we love most—especially our parents—and question why we fear the very intimacy we crave. Together, we will discover how sharing our wildest ideas and dreams, rather than just our daily schedules, can heal old wounds and turn strangers into soulmates. Come, let us find the courage to ask the questions that actually matter and uncover the inspiration waiting on the other side of fear.
