Episode 6: Anna

"Hurt people hurt people." - Anna

Anna shares her brave story about what it was like to be in the house when her brother attempted suicide as a teen, losing her mother at an early age, and experiencing neglect from her father. She explains how she spent so much of her life "under the radar," and shares what that feeling manifested. Anna's powerful story and her ability to be vulnerable is empowering to listen to. Anna is a reminder to us all that there is self-love and joy on the other side of complex-ptsd, OCD, and eating disorders. Neglect is a form of abuse, and is often not seen with the naked eye. We are grateful that we have this story to share with so many others that have went through the same.
