In this episode of Girls with Grafts, Rachel sits down with burn survivor and Phoenix SOAR Peer Supporter Fahima Abbas for a heartfelt conversation about emotional healing, self-confidence, and finding your voice. 🩷

Fahima shares her burn survivor journey and how living with facial scars has shaped the way she sees herself and connects with others. She reflects on the challenges of rebuilding confidence and learning to love herself, as well as the powerful impact of finding an online community of burn survivors who understood her experience. ✨ That connection inspired Fahima to begin sharing her own story and eventually become a Phoenix SOAR Peer Supporter, so she could offer that same sense of understanding and hope to others.

Together, Rachel and Fahima talk about what it means to feel comfortable being seen, the freedom that can come from owning your story, and why our scars never determine our worth. Scars don’t change our value—and finding the confidence to believe that can be an important part of healing. 💪
