Angie's Journey: From Darkness to Self-Love in Hawaii

So that's why now, because, again, like I don't like doing podcasts, I don't like doing this, but like I'm trying to get the message out, like I find like-minded people like you, and I'm like, hey, let's connect so we can share stories.
Picture this: you're in a new place, far from home, and a global pandemic hits. That's exactly where Angie Hawkins found herself when she moved from Chicago to Hawaii. In this episode of 'Secret Life', hosted by Brianne Davis, Angie opens up about her struggle with loneliness, trauma, and toxic relationships that led her to a suicide attempt. But this isn't just a story of despair; it's one of incredible resilience and the quest for self-love.
Angie’s candid conversation takes us through her darkest moments, including the day she took a lethal dose of anxiety medication. She talks about how her lack of self-love and the emotional baggage from her upbringing weighed her down. But Angie didn't let that be the end of her story. With the support of friends and therapists, she began to set boundaries and prioritize her own needs. One of the most compelling parts of Angie's story is her emphasis on boundaries.
She realized that always trying to please others was draining her, and setting boundaries became a crucial step in her healing process. By doing so, she not only improved her self-care but also built healthier relationships. Angie also sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of suicide attempt survivors. She hopes that by sharing her journey, she can connect with others who have faced similar challenges and inspire them to find hope and healing.
This episode is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest times, there is a path to self-love and resilience. Angie's story is sure to leave you feeling inspired and uplifted, showing that it's possible to overcome significant struggles and find a new lease on life.
