Dawn's Journey: Finding Support Through Women In Transition and CoDA
You have to build the strength to ask for what you need. Test the aces, and they're highly stressful experiences that happened to any of us before the age of right, and they say that they're not our fault.
Ever felt like the system let you down? Dawn did. In this season finale of 'How I Met My Mother, Sober', she joins the mother-daughter team to share her story of resilience and hope. Dawn, a liaison for Women In Transition (WIT) and an active member of Codependents Anonymous (CoDA), opens up about her struggles in finding support through traditional routes like the courts and mental health services. When those avenues failed, she discovered online communities that changed her life.
Dawn's journey through CoDA and WIT is a testament to the power of finding the right support network. She now connects others from CoDA to WIT, helping them navigate their own paths to recovery. This episode isn't just about Dawn's personal experiences; it dives into the broader issues of trauma, parenting, and breaking the cycle of harmful behaviors. It's a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of vulnerability and asking for help.
If you're in need of support or know someone who is, Dawn's story might be the inspiration you need. Tune in to hear about her healing journey and how she's paying it forward.
