TURNING SURVIVAL INTO SELF-EXPRESSION
Figuring Sh!t Out (FSO) exists as a mirror and a movement for those navigating the duality of modern life:
-
To find flow in the highs and lows of life,
-
To embrace the inevitable uncertainty with surrender and courage,
-
To live our lives fully with choice, presence, and intention,
-
And to heal, grow, feel, and enjoy the unfolding along the way.
Through storytelling, explorations of spirituality, ancient philosophy, modern psychology, neuroscience, lived experience, and creative reclamation, FSO is a way to live boldly within the paradox of the shadow and light.
Created by Vanessa Fontana
Hi, I’m Vanessa.
A writer, creator, facilitator, and speaker.
In my work, I explore what it means to turn survival into self-expression - to live creatively in the midst of chaos and to find clarity even as we’re still becoming. My work is about courage in motion: embracing the duality of being and becoming, and creating a life that feels like your own, even while you’re still figuring sh!t out.
FIGURING SH!T OUT, THE PODCAST
Launched from a New York City bedroom, Figuring Sh!t Out has grown into a top 5% podcast reaching a worldwide audience with 100+ episodes diving into what it means to live deeply and authentically in an ever-shifting world.
Combining stories of raw lived experience alongside actionable frameworks and reflective conversations, host & writer Vanessa Fontana guides listeners into the heart of the human experience - from shadow work and inner child healing to building clarity, courage, and self-trust and living a life of purpose.
At once poetic and practical, the show invites listeners to make art of their existence, to live deeply, and embrace the paradox of never having it all figured out, but moving forward anyways.
