Welcome to 'Curiosity Unveiled,' a podcast that celebrates curiosity. Join host Marie Ellis Cook in exploring topics such as family dynamics, mental health, and personal growth with an objective perspective. Challenge assumptions, uncover hidden stories, and foster open-minded inquiry. Many of us are told to be ourselves, but how many of us truly know who we are? What does our true self look like? This podcast is about exploring our own thoughts, biases and lived experiences in order to find and evolve our authentic selves.
