5. No Thanks, I Actually Don't Want to Suffer in Silence

Episode 5! Managing health issues when you’re young is hard enough, but doing it alone is like a double whammy. In today’s episode, we’re talking about what it’s like to deal with health stuff while growing up in an unhappy home environment. I share my experience being a teenager with things like acne and depression, while also not having much of a support system. I talk about how this impacted my nervous system and overall health, and how I found small outlets like journaling, soccer, and theater to cope when I didn’t have someone to talk to.At the end of the day, healing isn’t just physical. It requires safety, support, and connection. And if this is something you relate to, I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone in it.
