PART ONE - Crying in the Bathroom by Erika L. Sánchez

How do you thrive instead of just survive?

In her thought-provoking and vulnerable memoir, Erika L. Sánchez bares all. My friend Diliana and I gain perspective and reflect on our own lives, including Diliana’s experience as a teenage immigrant, the pressure of being extraordinary, and reflect on Erika’s inspiring journey to the incredible woman she is today. 

Listener discretion advised: Erika's mental health journey includes suicidal thoughts, attempted sexual assault and rape
