Have you ever been in an emotionally abusive relationship?
Have you ever been sexually assaulted?
Did you ever wake up and think this isn't the career I want, now what?
Have you dreamt about stepping off your career and building something on your own without a net?

Today's guest, Maryann Samreth answers yes to every single one of these statements and launched her own trauma writing business all by the age of 30.

In this episode, Maryann is going to vulnerable share her story of abuse and gaslighting, how journalling to heal from her emotional trauma turned into a passion that drove her to step off her career as a fashion designer to build her entrepreneurial business.

Maryann Samreth is a mental health writer, advocate, and the host of Mental Breakthrough Podcast. She is the founder of Sincerely Miss Mary, a once anonymous Instagram pen name she created when she was still working as a handbag designer. Her brand has expanded into a writing business where she creates authentic content for businesses in the wellness and mental health space. She is also a ghostwriter specializing in overcoming trauma and will soon be launching a trauma writing course.
