Mental Matters host Asekho Toto interviews the author behind "Angel and Arlington," the true story of a child who used their spiritual connection with their murdered father to help solve his case. This episode takes listeners on an emotional journey through grief, PTSD, and anxiety, revealing how these challenges can be transformed into purpose and peace without disappearing completely. Allicia Johnson Niles shares how their anxiety "plummeted" after processing their trauma through writing, leading to greater clarity, a stronger spiritual connection, and even marriage. Both Asekho and Allicia discuss how sharing personal mental health stories creates belonging for listeners experiencing similar struggles. With powerful insights on managing rather than curing mental health conditions, this conversation offers hope to anyone carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety, proving that our darkest chapters can become our most powerful tools for helping others.
