About this listen

Welcome to Dare to Be Us, a podcast for the perfectly imperfect, recorded in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I’m Ruth, founder of The Corner Pitch, and this show is a safe space for real conversations about spirituality, neurodivergence, mental health, generational trauma, queer identity, and multicultural belonging.

Every episode brings honest stories from people just like you — dreamers, healers, and everyday rebels learning to embrace their weird, heal their wounds, and live unapologetically.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, exploring spirituality, or finding your place between cultures, this podcast is here to remind you: you’re not broken! You belong.

  • Turning Chaos into Clairvoyance
    Nov 13 2025

    When life forced her to stop remembering, she started truly listening.

    In this episode, Simone shares how her neurological condition, what many might see as a limitation, became the doorway to her spiritual awakening. Losing her memory didn’t end her story; it rewrote it.

    We talk about how adversity can open unexpected space for intuition, how surrender can reveal purpose, and what it means to serve others as a clear channel for Spirit.

    Simone also opens up about her journey as a Master Teacher with Ann Perry’s Clarity Seekers Circle, her connection to mentor Shawn Leonard, and how she turned her greatest challenge into her calling.

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken, lost, or uncertain and is ready to see how every breakdown can lead to a breakthrough.

    • Transforming adversity into spiritual strength
    • How memory loss became her superpower
    • Navigating faith and skepticism in mediumship
    • Finding purpose through service
    • The balance between intuition and intellect

  • The path back to spirit
    Nov 5 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Anne as she opens up about her spiritual awakening, one that didn’t begin in adulthood, but in childhood. From hearing and sensing spirits without understanding why, to shutting down her gifts out of fear, Anne shares the journey of rediscovering who she really is.

    She takes us through her time in home nursing, where she witnessed powerful transitions between life and death, and how those moments quietly reawakened her intuition. We also talk about motherhood, and the responsibility (and blessing) of helping our children understand death not as something to fear, but as part of a bigger, spiritual cycle.

    This episode is a reminder that sometimes the world tells us to quiet our gifts, but the soul always finds a way to speak again.

    Healing... Awakening... Learning to trust the unseen!

    Tune in, breathe, and allow yourself to remember that you are more than this physical world.

  • Love and Care in an Unready System
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode of Dare to Be Us, we sit down with Leanna Todd, mom, massage therapist, and theatre director in Nova Scotia, to hear her story of resilience, advocacy, and creativity.

    Leanna shares the challenges of raising her daughter, Moira, who is autistic, while navigating a health and education system that often falls short. From delays in assessments to gaps in support services, she opens up about what it really takes to care for a child and fight for inclusion.

    We also explore how theatre and the arts can create spaces of belonging, and where even celebrated initiatives still miss the mark on accessibility. Leanna’s story is a reminder of the daily realities families face and the courage it takes to push for a life that’s truly inclusive.

    Follow, share, and keep daring to be yourself.
