EP10 - Comfortable In My Own Skin, Becoming Me - Marie Tonra

Only Human Podcast

Show Notes

This episode features my good friend Marie Tonra. We explore her journey of self discovery and uncovery as she went through the trials and uncertainty of her early to mid twenties. Marie works in the field of social care and is currently completing her thesis for a masters in journalism and media and is in the midst of training to be a life coach. She is insightful, thoughtful, articulate and full of energy for life, but it wasn’t always that way. She describes the period of her early twenties as a time where she was the “sole participant on a self made obstacle course”. This conversation explores that journey of pulling herself from a low state feeling powerless to plotting a meaningful path, to exploring her sexuality and ultimately knowing herself more fully, to where she is today. I enjoyed this immensely.

Only Human Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc and is produced by Evan Balfe 🎤

Until next time, stay well, stay curious.

I’ve been avoiding making this episode. I don’t necessarily believe in disability, I believe in people and people have diverse abilities.
