Blooming Out Loud

This week on Blooming Out Loud, Halie Rose Bloom opens up about the financial anxieties and societal pressures of life in New York—a city that never sleeps and often measures worth by paychecks and professions.
Raised by a single mother in Southern California, money was always present in Halie’s story but never her definition. From juggling jobs to refusing the word “no,” she built resilience and a relentless drive to keep moving forward. Guided by her mother’s mantra, “We’ll figure it out later,” Halie learned to chase opportunities even when the odds felt stacked against her.
This episode explores the unseen struggles behind her determination, the lessons that shaped her, and her commitment to building happiness on her own terms—proof that even in a world ruled by money, there’s always a way through.

Welcome to Blooming Out Loud, where survival meets softness. Hosted by NYC-based trauma therapist Halie Rose Bloom, this podcast explores the raw, unpolished, and deeply human journey of healing and self-acceptance. In this episode, Halie reflects on being diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression at 12 — and how growing up feeling rejected fueled her drive to carve her own path. From challenging school systems to becoming the lead plaintiff in a disability rights lawsuit, Halie shares how she turned every “no” into fuel for advocacy and growth. Her story unfolds through college hardships, life in NYC, and a powerful transformation while studying social work at NYU — ultimately embracing the bold, unfiltered version of herself she was always meant to be. This episode is for anyone in the messy middle — navigating identity, rejection, and resilience. Blooming Out Loud reminds you: you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
