What happens when life forces you to stop—and completely rewrite your story?
In this deeply moving episode of Nourished Inside Out, we sit down with Carolyn Sophia Skowron, whose life took a radical turn after a near-fatal car accident. Before that moment, she quietly battled depression, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, especially within the academic system. Everything changed when she was diagnosed with Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD) during recovery.
Carolyn shares how trauma became the unexpected catalyst for healing, self-awareness, and empowerment. Through therapy, mindfulness, and inner work, she redefined her version of success—transforming self-doubt into strength and isolation into resilience.
If you've ever felt unseen, struggled with mental health, or are navigating life with a learning difference, this episode will remind you of the power of pivoting, owning your story, and building a life from the inside out.
