In the final episode of Season 1, I dive into the question I am most commonly asked - after everything you have survived, how do you still have faith? This story is about how leaning into faith helped me to survive my darkest days. I share the intimate story of grappling with suicidal thoughts and how an astonishing midnight miracle helped reignite my hope after grappling with the hard realities of being a survivor of rape and sexual assault. I share about my grief after the death of a close friend, the shock of repressed memories, and navigating suicidal ideation. This is a story of healing, faith, and learning to be compassionate with myself and all my feelings – even the really challenging ones.

And for anyone who relates to thoughts of suicide, I promise you it does get better. Your life matters.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of Reflections Season 1.
