Season 4 of The Ariza Inspire Podcast is all about stories. Stories of people's mental health journeys and the lessons they learned along the way. This week, I sat down with Kristen Harootunian to discuss her mental health journey.
Tiffany shares a powerful mental health story of trauma, resilience, and healing. After surviving childhood abuse, loss, bullying, and abusive relationships, she struggled with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide attempts before finding support through therapy and diagnosis, including borderline personality disorder. Tiffany opens up about breaking cycles of trauma, navigating mental illness, and learning to heal. Her journey highlights the realities of PTSD, emotional pain, and recovery—while offering hope, strength, and encouragement for anyone struggling with their mental health.
