This episode references themes including suicide, domestic violence, sexual assault, and eating disorders.
For this truly inspiring episode, I was joined by Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneur, face of United Nations campaign against domestic violence, and Founder of women's mental health community platform, I Am Arla, Devika Wood.
In her entry, Devika shares how years of trauma ultimately became her superpower, and how, in loving and caring for others she found the strength to survive.
Devika's story is a powerful reminder that you never know what is going on behind the scenes. To the outside world, she was a young and hugely successful entrepreneur, with international recognition and a host of incredible awards and accolades to her name. The reality of her private life was a totally different story.
Devika shares an insight into the complex duality of her life as a successful female founder and domestic abuse survivor, and how, after experiencing a suicidal breakdown, a flight to Ibiza changed her life forever.
