Episode Sixteen
Today's episode features Sarah - BPD Coach & Warrior.
In this raw and powerful episode, we meet Sarah—a fierce BPD warrior whose childhood in a quiet Canadian ghost town was anything but calm. From getting kicked out of first grade for saving ladybugs to building a career surrounded by nature and frogs (yes, real ones), Sarah walks us through what it’s like to grow up misunderstood, mislabeled, and still rise with purpose.
