Unscripted With Karishma Patel

In today’s episode, Samantha Rose gets real about what happens when life forces you to pause. We dive into the emotional, physical, and deeply personal journey she experienced after her thyroid surgery, the unexpected challenges that followed, and the ways her healing changed the way she sees herself.
