In the twelfth episode of season four, I am joined by Mandy Wood to overthink about living with trauma. 
We dive into: 
• Mental Health in the Workplace
• Childhood trauma and therapy work
• The courage to tell your story

She is also a wife, mother and sexual assault survivor. Mandy has major depressive disorder, C-PTSD and a history of severe panic attacks and self-harm. She shares her story to help confront and eliminate stigmas and stereotypes; but most of all, to show there is hope — You can be at your darkest point and still feel the sunshine again.
