Singer-songwriter Victoria Canal was born with one arm – but that never stopped her from stepping into the spotlight. Victoria challenges assumptions and questions celebrity culture, embodying the liberating belief that your body doesn’t define how you move through the world. Embracing her limb-difference, position in the public eye, and recovery from sexual assault, Victoria makes space to live out her depth and nuance. She reveals that while her wildest dream is to win a Grammy, she also craves creating art off-the-grid for the sake of self-expression; simply “being” and living out your complex wholeness is, and always has been, enough.

Author, "bad feminist", and cultural icon Roxane Gay believes that self-acceptance isn’t a destination – in a society obsessed with robotic perfectionism, embracing our messy, complex humanity is a radical mindset. She attempts to welcome the parts that don’t fit the mold of her “ideal” self, including her trauma, fatness, age, lack of self-love and finding romance later in life. Roxane chooses acceptance over shame, nuance over binaries, and grace over judgement for herself and others. How would you feel if you forgave yourself for your short-comings and mistakes?

In this week’s episode, actress, comedian, writer, and director Sarah Jones is the embodiment of turning rejection into alignment. As a multicultural, Black artist who always felt like she was too much, she was boxed into minor, stereotypical roles in the entertainment industry.

Now she’s taking her understanding of the power of self-acceptance to the next level in this moment of extreme polarization through her podcast “America, Who Hurt You?”, spreading the message that the only way we can heal our country’s division is through deep, unconditional love for ourselves and each other.
