EP00: Why This Podcast Is The Thing I Couldn't Not Do

from What I Didn't Know: Building the Life You Recovered For · host Netanya Allyson

On a kitchen floor in September of 2018, I woke up inside my adult life.  And I was not okay. In this premier episode, the stage is set at the lowest point I've ever been. That moment was a catalyst for the journey I would take over the next several years.The exact words I said out loud to myself on the floor that day were, “This is not how this story ends.” I didn’t know what that would look like at the time, but what I did know is that it would begin with setting fire to everything I’d already created. Just because something has been true, doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. I dive into reflecting on the lack of emotional education in the world I grew up in and my passion for the importance of learning to express emotions, set boundaries, and seek help. I will always aim to create a platform for open discussions about mental health, recovery, and personal growth, encouraging others to take ownership of their healing journey while recognizing the value of support from others. After a lifetime of watching people shove things under the rug, I discovered I have an infinite hunger for talking about the truth. It’s what I’m here for.  Let’s begin, shall we? Full show notes at netanyaallyson.com/episodes/00
