We just want to share a message of hope to all of you, whether you're stuck in mental illness, stuck in addiction or stuck with a loved one.
Colleen O’Hara's life reads like a series of battles, each more harrowing than the last. Diagnosed with an eating disorder at just 10 years old, Colleen’s early years were marked by a relentless struggle with prescription drugs for ADHD and anxiety, which spiraled into full-blown addiction during her college years. Add to that the devastating losses of her mother and brother to overdoses, and it’s clear Colleen has faced more than her fair share of hardships.
Yet, despite these overwhelming challenges, she’s here to tell her story of transformation on 'Becoming Wildly Well' with Brandi Lea. At one point, Colleen didn’t think she’d make it to 30. But now, at 38, she reflects on a journey that took nearly six years of intensive healing. In this candid conversation, Colleen opens up about the moment she decided enough was enough and committed to turning her life around.
She shares the raw details of her experiences in recovery centers and the pivotal role therapy and support from loved ones played in her path to wellness. Colleen’s story isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving. She talks about the hard work and dedication it took to rebuild her life, and how she continues to heal every day. Her message is clear: if she can find a way out of the darkness, anyone can.
With honesty and hope, Colleen aims to inspire others who are facing similar battles with addiction or mental illness. Tune in to hear Colleen’s powerful journey from surviving to thriving and discover the advice she offers for anyone struggling to heal. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest times.
