The Art of Becoming — Hannah Garrison’s Story
Hannah Garrison was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2017, but her journey started long before that; in the silence of being dismissed, the guilt of cultural and religious expectations, and the quiet ache of never quite feeling seen.
In this raw and intimate conversation, Hannah shares how MS forced her to confront not only her body, but her identity. We talk about the years she was misdiagnosed, the weight of family history with mental illness, and the internal battle between acceptance and perceived weakness. Through her art, Hannah found a place to be fully herself... messy, brilliant, and unfiltered.
We explore the clash between generational mindsets, the emotional toll of being “the sensitive one,” and what it really costs to make peace with a future others want you to fight. This is not a story of inspiration. It’s a story of truth, survival, and the kind of healing that begins when you stop trying to be who everyone else needs you to be.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or quietly breaking — this episode is for you.
