The Bright Side of Life (Mental Health, Self Care)

In this episode I talk to a woman named Ashley about her childhood trauma. She is the survivor of sexual, mental, and physical abuse. She also experienced being abandoned at a very young age. Through her life she faced many obstacles, but she shares how she got through it all.

*This podcast may act as a trigger for some as it covers a topic of sensitive nature.*
