About this session :)

Hey there, I'm Vanessa!! :D On the surface, I might come across as really cheerful and put-together, but the truth is, my life hasn’t always been all smiles. Since secondary school, I’ve faced failure after failure — not just small setbacks, but the kind that left me helplessly battling the heavy fog of depression. Today, I still carry the quiet, exhausting weight of anxiety, and for a long time, I learned to hide that part of myself — not because I wanted to, but because I feared being seen as weak, or worse, a burden. But I’ve come to realise it doesn’t have to be that way. Over the years, I’ve found people I can pour my heart out to, which I believe was the missing piece of the puzzle. Vulnerability doesn’t make us lesser — it makes us human. And for me, such vulnerability is a key ingredient for the kind of listener I hope to be for you: Someone who understands not just from textbooks, but from the perspective of lived experience. <3
