Episode 5 | Notes from the Wound – The Worthiness Wound

What happens when systems reward performance but not truth?
In this episode, Dr. Shumaila Hemani explores the silent injuries of being unseen in academia, the arts, and community spaces. This one’s for those who’ve been overlooked, minimized, or tolerated instead of celebrated.

Why do we work so hard to prove we belong?
Dr. Hemani unpacks the worthiness wound—the deep belief that our value depends on perfection, performance, or external approval. From the hustle of overachievement to the ache of institutional erasure, she shares how her body, music, and deep listening called her back to truth and power.
