Brinn Langdale was 18 years old, when she was asked a question that changed her life forever. Someone asked if her older brother had ever "done anything to her." The answer was yes. For 12 years she had been molested by him.

Growing up she had no clue what was happening and because of all the ways that the trauma was presenting itself, she just thought she was crazy. She describes herself as a poster child for trauma disgusted as a middle class, suburban athletic kid, so everyone just thought she was 'being a teenager'.

But at 18, when she admitted to herself, and her family, what had been going on, her life suddenly made sense. The news exploded her family and all of their lives were turned upside down. Shortly after that she left for college where she became a super high achiever, while being addicted to weed and getting black out drunk and living on a constant emotional rollercoaster.

At 22, she dove deep into her healing journey and spent her entire 20s healing using various holistic approaches, in addition to traditional therapy. she forgave her abuser by her 30th birthday and became a licensed therapist at 31.

This is an incredible story, and we commend Brinn's bravery for coming on the show, and inspiring others

Let's revisit this amazing episode, with Lena Papadopoulos, one of the most jaw dropping episodes in recent series. Lena was in love, her year long relationship had seen her plan to move in with her boyfriend, and even meet his family, however, something wasn't right. Constant 'work trips', always changing plans, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation had Lena second guessing her own sanity. Ultimately she chose to listen to her instincts, and started to do a little digging. What transpires through this episode is nothing short of a Netflix true crime documentary. This Episode uncovers the truth behind a covert narcissist living multiple lives around the world! Thank you for your strength Lena, it's not easy to discuss such raw feelings of betrayal, anger and hurt, but Lena has turned these feelings into strength and pride in herself. Lena wants to tell her story to help others to trust their bodies, to trust their instinct. This episode is literally unbelievable.

She made millions, taking charity money and raking in donations for a disease she did not have. It has sparked a wider conversation about beating Cancer holistically, steering clear of Chemo and Radiation, and is it even possible?
