Perla Meets The World

What a rollercoaster of a life my fellow friend had. He is one of my colleagues, we work together at the same restaurant and I have never imagined what he had to go through, and how far his journey had taken him. From drug and physical abuse to mental health issues, caregiving jobs, and losing a loved one. This episode is quite raw and might trigger some people.

Starting off discussing some societal taboos such as menstruation, and finishing up sharing very personal stuff. I open up and reveal some of my struggles in life, what made me who I am now, and where I am at the moment.
