Soy La Mala mujer
Welcome to my dope comeback story. Learning to live with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was not easy.
8 years ago, I went experienced a traumatic event. I didn’t know what to do with the experience. I did what any 20 year old would have done, I tried to bury it. I tried to shove that stuff as deep as I could.
But the thing about the past, is that it always has a way of catching up to you.
In 2018, I was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I was plagued with anxiety and depression. I started to hate who I became.
The healing started happening only once I realized the only way to save myself, was to change myself.
After I began to heal from trauma, I started to believe in myself and for the first time in my life – I was in control. I was in control of my actions, my emotions and my future.
In two years, I changed everything about my life. I started to choose myself first. I let go of people and activities that no longer served me. I quit my job, traveled the world, moved out of state, landed my dream job and fell in love with Jiu Jitsu. I started this blog to help other women discover and unleash their dopeness.
“La Mala Mujer” translates to “the bad woman”. I thought this would be the perfect name for this blog, considering that culturally, women are expected to be quiet, obedient, and timid. Nope, not here we don’t.
If being “una mala mujer” means speaking my mind and drawing boundaries then I’ll own it. Soy Mala Mujer and I hope you are too.
What is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.
What you can expect to see on my Blog
I want to share my experience (both the triumphs and my setbacks) as a testimony to anyone who needs to hear it, especially for others who are on their journey to recovery. A life full of love and success is possible.
In my blog, I will share the things that helped me overcome the anxiety, negative thoughts, and depression that can be associated with trauma and PTSD. I will also share how addressing my mental health helped skyrocket my career and financial goals.
