#3 - Transforming Trauma: Rain's Journey to Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

In this Braver Women Show Podcast episode, host and therapist, Leanne C Jones introduces lesbian fiction author, Rain McAlister. Rain is a courageous gay woman from the West Coast of Ireland. Rain has bravely faced a lifetime of intense anxiety and the heavy burden of childhood trauma, which caused her to live in fear and avoid leaving her home for years.

Join us as Rain opens up about her incredible journey to rediscover her self-worth, build her confidence, and free herself from shame and fear after working directly with Leanne in Braver Women. She shares how she reached milestones she never thought possible and the powerful impact of overcoming societal pressures, discrimination, and self-doubt. At one point, Rain was told she couldn't be helped and had given up all hope, seeing Braver Women as her last chance.

For many of us in the queer community, navigating these challenges can feel overwhelming. Rain’s story shows the power of believing in ourselves and letting go of the lies we've been conditioned to think. By sharing our experiences in the LGBTQ+ community, we create connections, foster understanding, and inspire healing.

If you’ve ever felt different or struggled with anxiety, this episode will deeply resonate with you. Tune in to be inspired by Rain McAlister's remarkable transformation from fear to freedom.
