About the episode
Anwyn shares her journey through childhood loneliness, depression, and anxiety, growing up in a dysfunctional and isolating environment. As a young adult, she faced significant challenges, including the sudden loss of a parent and surviving a hostel fire that left her with nothing. Overwhelmed by pain and feelings of hopelessness, Anwyn attempted suicide.
Now approaching the 10th anniversary of her attempt, Anwyn reflects on the small yet powerful steps she took toward healing - like creating a bucket list and reaching out for support in her own way. Through therapy, nurturing connections, and building a toolkit of self-care practices, she’s found hope and meaning in her life.
In this heartfelt episode of Lifeline's Holding on to Hope podcast, Anwyn’s courage reminds us that healing is possible and that moments of connection and kindness can make all the difference.
