In Part 1 of this two-part series, Nada and Susy discuss:
- At 7 years old, Susy felt self-judgment, rejection, and discomfort when she began to lose hair from alopecia
- Experimenting with alcohol and recreational drugs, and how they became the solution for Susy’s pain
- Living in NY City with a great job, and how it looked so great on the outside, yet Susy felt lost, disconnected, and miserable on the inside
- Going into rehab
- Learning new tools to connect with herself and heal, and helping others do the same
Highlights:
- “After so many years of my mind being so loud, I could have a drink and my mind would get quiet”
- “I no longer wanted to live, and one night I got to that point”
- “Wake up and stop choosing to move toward death and start choosing life”
- “I discovered that my life wasn’t actually that bad, and certainly not one that I would need to escape from”
- “Everything in life had been happening for me”
