I always try to say it through my experience, which I still don't find is very helpful to them.
Imagine growing up in the foster care system, facing trauma and battling mental health issues. That's the reality Kimberly Rhyan lived through. In this episode of 'Stigmatized', host Trevor Steinhauser sits down with Kimberly, who opens up about her journey from a tumultuous childhood to becoming a beacon of hope for many.
She talks candidly about the anxiety, depression, and PTSD that have been her lifelong companions, and how sheer grit and self-care have helped her carve out a healthy, happy life. Kimberly's story is a testament to resilience. Now a speaker, trainer, and consultant, she dedicates her life to inspiring foster parents, caseworkers, educators, and foster care youth to step into their futures with confidence.
She discusses the crucial role of financial literacy and support for foster youth and highlights the often-overlooked issue of food insecurity. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about breaking the cycle of stigma and moving towards a brighter future. Whether you're directly affected by these issues or simply want to understand them better, Kimberly's insights offer a powerful perspective on overcoming adversity.
