#70 : Honoring truth through rebellion!

A fascinating deep dive with Caroline Williams, a systems challenger, founder of WE Make Trouble and someone who refuses to look away from what does not feel right.

Caroline’s journey is shaped by a lifetime of not fitting in. Growing up between cultures, constantly moving and learning early that belonging would not come from adapting, but from choosing herself.
