Licensed mental health therapist Nia Ridgle speaks on
how to break past cycles of abuse, generational trauma, and why
your own mental health should be a central piece of your
parenting.
Nia's life story is one like many others, where we find ourselves
professionally successful but struggling internally. After many
failed attempts of using coping mechanisms Nia found to be
self-defeating, self-sacrificing, and mostly outdated she realized
she did not have the proper channels, tools, support, or knowledge
of where to go for help.
Nia was left with the feeling that she was stifling her own healing
and growth. She committed to embarking on a wonderful, intense
journey to self-love. Nia found the tools to live better with the
help of a professional.
Now that she has the tools, skills, and mindset to help others her
mission is to support and empower others while instilling
foundational principles to help break unhealthy habits and
repeating cycles when supporting her clients and educating the
public about mental health stigmas. Nia finds "When you reveal you,
you heal."

Quotes from the episode
"Children need to be
seen in three ways - seen, heard, and affirmed."
"Mental health does not see color, it does not see gender, it does
not see wealth."
"It's not enough to KNOW - the key is action. Now that you know you
have these blocks, what are you going to do about it?"
"Either you speak against abuse and separate from it, or you don't
speak against it and it becomes part of your being."
