In this episode, we dive into the heart of Luminous Scars and uncover the meaning behind its name. Scars—both seen and unseen—carry stories of survival and resilience, yet we often see them as reminders of pain or weakness. But what if they were something more?

Through personal reflections, we explore how scars, instead of being something to hide, can be embraced as proof of healing and strength. Together, we’ll challenge the way we view our “cracks” and celebrate them as the spaces where light shines through.
