Manage episode 379549930 series 2997443
Our guest today is Roya Haghighat, the author of Despair to Devin, bravely shares her journey, one marked by trauma but ultimately, resilience. Growing up in a traditional household, she found herself caught in the coils of an abusive relationship as an adult. Her story is a haunting exploration of real-life horrors, but also serves as an inspiring testament to the human spirit's capacity for survival.
Her tale takes a chilling turn as she delves into the reality of her abusive marriage, her battles with mental health, and her incredible resilience in the face of adversity. The climax arrives with her recounting the painful memory of being in the ICU for three months after attempting suicide that lead to the tragic event that took baby girls life. Yet, she stands strong as she emphasizes the need for recognizing red flags in relationships and advocating for oneself.
In a hopeful conclusion, our guest details her journey of healing, finding strength in education and advocacy. Despite her disability, she transformed her life, becoming a paralegal and working with sex offenders and domestic violence victims. Her story continues to inspire others as she spreads awareness through her experiences. Be sure to follow us on our social media platforms for more such enlightening conversations.
Remember, it's through these shared stories and experiences that we can all learn and grow. After all, it's not about the dark times we face, but rather, how we rise from the ashes.
