Show Notes

From the small town success on her way to a softball scholarship, to what seemed like the town degenerate who dropped out of high school as a sophomore due to drugs, Larissa Stone’s story shifted very early on in her young adult years.

In hopes to make a better life for herself and get away from her troubled teen years, she joined the military at the age of 18, requiring her to really learn how to grow up fast. Following the military, Larissa’s life became focused on healing from the war and learning to navigate school with PTSD. Now, through a lot of work and patience, she can successfully say that she’s been able to achieve the greatest accomplishment of her life and go from healing to healed. 

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Larissa joins Joanna to share her journey to healing from her young adult trials, with drugs in high school and PTSD in college. Her story is a light to those who are navigating their own young adult challenges and proof that going from healing to healed is possible for you. Listen in to gain insight on the reality of dealing with mental health challenges in college and how success doesn’t have to look like material items but rather all to do with you internally.
