Episode Synopsis

What's it like to grow up in an unsupportive family – with the constant narrative since childhood that you are stupid and a good for nothing? And believing it is true till proving otherwise!
This is a story everyone needs to hear! For every teenager struggling with low self esteem. For  parents to be watchful of our words and actions.  For every one of us: how a few kind words can possibly transform a life – in this case from hopelessness which seeks flight from pain through inflicting self-harm – to believing that “as long as you have the courage to continue you can weather through any storm in life."

We ask you to enter a “no judgement zone”, to listen with an open mind and empathetic heart, with the hope that it may spur you to positive action in your own struggle experience.
There is something to be learned about digesting the experience of others to put your own trials and tribulations into perspective; a perspective that encourages rather than deflates. turning threads of struggles into the larger picture of your life.
Have you considered sharing one struggle you have overcome?  Your life’s odds may feel ordinary to you, but it might seem extraordinary to someone else. Every story shared is a chance to make someone feel less alone. With your growth experience, you too can encourage, uplift and empower others! What’s your story? We’ll love to hear from you!
