This week, we revisit this amazing chat with Tarah Dowling, In one of the most emotional episodes we have had to date, Tarah tells us about her harrowing and traumatic childhood growing up with her drug addicted mother. She tells us about her heartbreaking decision  to leave the family house at 12 years old, and give herself up for foster care, which is the legal age in Canada. She had to leave her little brother behind to save herself, and tells us about her heartbreak, regret, and troubled life that followed, including a suicide attempt and abuse.  But wait!! As with all of our stories, we are here to focus on the triumph over trauma, and Tarah is here to tell us how she is now, and how she is helping others through similar situations as hers. Its an amazing story, told with courage and strength!
TRIGGER WARNING: discussions about Addiction, Suicide, Abuse.
