Some Back Story & An Evolution
Why am I sharing this?
I was having a conversation with and she was sharing about her Doom To Bloom Podcast where she brings awareness of trauma, mental health, & addiction working to break the stigma. She is bringing light to these types of struggles she witnesses working with the unhoused population working as front line support.
This brought up my own history & part of my own origin story, so I wanted to share with others some positive things that can come from witnessing and living around such intense struggles in my own childhood.
I was raised by a heroine-addicted mom with mental health issues, at times eating from garbage cans to survive.
Also being around addiction recovery my whole childhood I have been witness to the struggles.
Matter of fact, having to "coach" my own mom from as far back as I can remember as a method of not only my own survival, but making sure she was able to take care of all 5 of her kids (4 after my brother passed at 19 from living a hard life on the streets) gave me a ton of experience and motivation to solve problems and help people to process mental and emotional shit.
That was the foundation of what I do now.
While the experiences have been incredibly intense at times, and perhaps far outside of the norm, this has also provided me the ability to go extremely deep mentally & emotionally with people I work with without judgement.
This piece of my story gave me incredible problem solving skills and emotional & trauma processing abilities.
My childhood has given me the experiences that set the stage for my passion and how I help the world, because of my challenges.
The takeaway is that no matter what someone might be going through, it CAN set the stage for something incredible on the other side of it.
One of the greatest ways to help someone, is to listen, without judgement, and to simply provide a safe space to FEEL.
