On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Viviana is today’s former participant and she comes with a story of transparency. Sharing what it was like as a teen in foster care, to being in an inpatient facility for three years before being thrust into college, Viviana is here to share the good, bad, and ugly of her story in hopes that it might provide a sense of comfort and understanding for others who may have been or are currently in similar situations. After years of reflection on those mostly negative experiences in her life, Viviana has had time to process and make sense of all the chaos. With hindsight perspective, she shares incredibly wise and thoughtful advice for anyone who is interested in pursuing college immediately after treatment.

NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
