✨ Welcome to Surpassing Labels! ✨ Surpassing Labels is more than just a podcast; it’s a movement to break through the labels and limitations that society, and sometimes even ourselves, place on us. This podcast is a space to embrace the extraordinary within the ordinary and to uncover the powerful, untold stories that shape our lives. Hosted by Felicia Sheline, Surpassing Labels dives deep into the journeys of individuals who’ve faced life’s toughest challenges and emerged with a clearer sense of purpose. From parents and caregivers to advocates and visionaries, each episode offers real conversations about resilience, transformation, and the courage it takes to live authentically. We’re here to remind you that no matter what obstacles you face or labels you wear, you have the power to rewrite your story, unlock your potential, and live a life that reflects your true essence. Tune in for inspiration, connection, and the encouragement to surpass every label.
