Digging Through Dominoes

Are you constantly wondering what the hell is wrong with me? Why don’t I trust people? Why do the same things keep happening over and over again? Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?! Then it’s time to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversations with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (sometimes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relationships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair. But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighting the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and optimism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of times. In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood. Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most. The stories may be hard but they are REAL and there is hope at the end of the day! Teri’s mission is to let you know that you’re safe, you’re definitely not alone, and to never give up because there is always hope!
