When you hear that you're damaged and that you're going to end up in prison, in a hospital, or in a cemetery, I think that's what you end up becoming. But I needed to see myself and stop what I was doing. I had to learn how to forgive and understand that she has gone through worse than I did.
Imagine growing up amidst the chaos of war, only to face even darker challenges. In this gripping episode of 'Zero to Hero', Craig Allen sits down with Mariana, who recounts her harrowing journey from Nicaragua to the United States. Mariana's story is one of survival, resilience, and ultimately, healing. Mariana's childhood was marred by the violence and instability of a war-torn Nicaragua. Her mother fled to the United States as an illegal immigrant, leaving Mariana and her sister behind.
During this time, Mariana faced unimaginable trauma, including sexual abuse and torture. These experiences led her down a dangerous path when she eventually joined her mother in the U.S. In a candid conversation, Mariana opens up about her anger towards God and the complex emotions surrounding her mother's decisions. She shares how therapy played a crucial role in her recovery and how founding her own organization has helped her turn pain into purpose.
Mariana's story is not just about overcoming personal demons but also about the power of forgiveness and the importance of sharing one's story to help others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, addiction recovery, and the transformative power of resilience. Mariana's raw honesty and strength offer a beacon of hope for those facing their own struggles.
