Yahna's Journey: Finding Hope After Abuse and Addiction
I think I'm happy with wherever I'm at. I miss so many things with my family, you know, and I never really noticed that it was because of the abuse and the intimidation.
What happens when the very people who should protect you are the ones who cause the most pain? In this episode of 'The Terminally Unique Podcast', Yahna opens up about her tumultuous journey from a restrictive religious upbringing and an abusive marriage to finding peace and happiness. Hosts Dean Wright and Diva Arias guide the conversation, uncovering how Yahna's early life was marked by constant monitoring and judgment from her community.
This toxic environment led her to seek solace in drugs and alcohol, which only masked her pain temporarily. Yahna's turning point came through counseling and the support of Alcoholics Anonymous. She shares how these resources helped her build healthy relationships and find a supportive community. Her story is a heartfelt reminder of the power of resilience and the importance of family, friendships, and sharing wisdom in recovery.
