Heather in Arkansas

On this episode I talk with Heather. Heather lives in Arkansas and she is a suicide attempt survivor.

In Heather's words...

I am a 3x suicide attempt survivor and was a self mutilator for 14 years. Although there is no medical explanation of how or why I am alive today, I make a deliberate choice, every day, to trust and believe I am still breathing for a reason. Maybe the reason is to share what I have learned during this relentless war I call life with you. I pray my "story" will give someone the strength they need to choose another day. I hope it will give you insight to tools to help you make the choice to stay. 

At 9 years old, I decided that, "No one can hurt me, more than I can hurt myself". It took me 14 years to realize that although it sounded like an excellent motto to live by, it was a lie. Even though I thought I was in control, I continued to give the abusers and abuse power and permission to continue to hurt me, each time I hurt myself. I want you to take your power back NOW! I don't want it to take you 14 years like it did for me! 

I would love to help you find purpose, despite your pain. I would love to help give you more tools to help you fight and make the deliberate choice each day, to stay. I want you to become a fellow Tenacious Warrior in this relentless war called life! If you ever want to reach out directly to me, you can email me at: tenaciouswarrior4@gmail.com
