About the Creator and the Host

Labels Don’t Define Us is created by Kicki E. Johansson, a Swedish content creator and storyteller dedicated to breaking stigma, expanding emotional understanding, and helping people reclaim their identity beyond labels, diagnoses, and past experiences.

Kicki’s vision is to build a space where healing feels human, accessible, and deeply validating—a place where every listener is reminded that they are more than what they’ve been through.

The podcast is hosted by Sarah, whose compassionate voice guides each conversation with depth, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.

Sarah invites guests from diverse backgrounds—individuals with lived experience, mental health professionals, creatives, and everyday people navigating their own healing journeys.

Her ability to hold space, ask meaningful questions, and translate complex psychological concepts into relatable language makes the show both grounding and transformative.

Together, Kicki’s creative direction and Sarah’s empathetic hosting create a podcast that blends science, storytelling, and humanity. A show that reminds you:

You are not defined by a diagnosis. You are defined by your courage, your growth, and your story.
