Sometimes, despite trying our hardest, it feels like nobody's listening, and we're left feeling alone. It's like trying to climb out of a deep, dark pit, reaching out for help, only to be let down by those we thought we could rely on.

This is what this episode is about. Our host, Fawza, had a conversation with her childhood friend, Kyra, discussing how they both struggled to find the right help, whether through family, professionals, or society. Watch the whole episode to find out about her healing journey!
