Today, Kelly is speaking with Jena Sophia. Jena is a Psych-K facilitator, Reiki Master, and flower essence maker. She began experiencing anxiety when she was a young child, and as mystery symptoms got worse, she was put on more and more medication. It was at 15 when she was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis, which resulted in more medication. Listen as she tells us about hitting her breaking point, how she found Psych-K, began to heal her mind, and went cold turkey off all her medication.

S1. E8 - Joan x Jena Sophia, Psych-K Facilitator - On PCOS, Endometriosis, Anxiety, Medication, and Fully Healing

The purpose of Joan is to draw light towards mental health - to bring awareness and real stories to the trauma that most every one endures at some point in life. From depression and post partum depression, to anxiety and eating disorders, to PTSD, the loss of loved ones, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, addiction... The list goes on and on. Joan is a place of honesty and connection. If you're struggling and feeling alone, I hope this podcast helps you to understand that you are heard, you are not alone, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
