Episode 100: Behind the Scenes with Salima as the journeys of untold stories are uncovered and discovered

Dare To Share Your Untold Story

Can you believe it? We have reached the 100th episode milestone, with the opportunity to celebrate and honour brave guests who have come forward, take stock of how it all began and where we are headed. Salima takes the daring seat to share the journey to the 100th episode. She openly shares thoughts she entertained as well as what she didn’t even think about as she kept her focus on spreading the word about breaking down the barriers of mental stigma and embracing the concept of ‘mental beauty’. In this episode she shares how she believes the intention of her podcast is being fulfilled and shares with the audience more about her uniquely coined term, ‘the mental beauty re-think’. Salima also shares the backend of what goes into producing an episode, how guests are selected, how guests get into the interview space and what the preparation is like, particularly around not coming in with a prepared script to share their story from. Salima shares insights about what she has learned about herself over the 99 episodes that led her to the 100th, and how she has been impacted by each guest and story, and even lets us in on some cherished moments of about seven or eight episodes that she brings to light, particularly from the first year of the podcast launch. Salima’s authentic sharing of all these episodes also touches upon her own personal growth moments as it relates to the podcast as well as what has changed for herself along the way of this podcast journey. She opened up and got personal about what her perception of mental health was growing up and how that differs from her present-day perspective. Salima shares habits that she has personally developed to take care of her own mental well-being and discusses her biggest challenge with overcoming her own difficulties. She takes time to share more about what it is like to set boundaries and implement these, and other relatable tips for the audience at large. This is a wonderful episode to listen to as she also gives a gentle nudge about what’s next on the horizon for the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, as well as what’s next to come in her overall work as a mental health professional.
