What would you do if you were thrown into the throes of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, all while pursuing a demanding career in the medical field? Our guest Rylee, a military medic and social media influencer, asked herself this very question. Her answer? Face the battles head-on, amplify emotional intelligence, and harness the power of a growth mindset. Rylee's journey, though marked with challenges, is nothing short of inspiring.
Rylee's candid conversation about her invisible wounds of PTSD, born out of an abusive relationship, resonates with many. Her love language of gift-giving and a conscious effort to make others feel significant, are her ways to make this world less lonely. Her childhood coping mechanism of running – both away from difficulties and towards personal development, make for an intriguing listen.
As we walk with Rylee towards her passion for women's health, we learn what made her so committed to the cause. She offers a heartfelt story about the moment she learned the skill of detachment and how she uses her platform to reach out to others. Despite past hardships, Rylee maintains an uplifting positivity, finding solace in an unusual habit, and paying forward the knowledge she has gained. Her story is not just about surviving; it's about thriving and passing the torch of resilience to others.
