If something doesn't feel right in your gut, then it probably isn't. Lean into the unknown and be comfortable in the uncomfortable. It's never too late to start loving yourself, and you're always only one decision away from a completely different life.
Imagine growing up in an environment where trauma is mistaken for normalcy. That's the story Lou Ridley, a Nashville-based musician and human rights advocate, shares in this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories. Host Patrick Custer sits down with Lou to discuss her journey through the dark alleys of her past, including the harrowing experience of sexual assault and the misguided belief that it was her fault.
Lou's candid conversation doesn't just stop at recounting her struggles; it dives into the therapeutic process that helped her break free from the chains of her past. She talks about how therapy compressed what felt like 30 years of healing into just three months, providing her with the tools to reclaim her life and passion for music. This episode isn't just about overcoming trauma; it's about finding the strength to turn pain into purpose.
Lou’s story is a testament to the power of empathy, community support, and self-love. Whether you're grappling with your own challenges or supporting someone who is, Lou's journey offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that healing is possible.
