I Didn't Think I Was Worthy| Brianna's Story

Brianna: From Marine Dreams to Foster Youth Advocate Brianna spent years believing there was something wrong with her. She thought she'd be a Marine forever.

But after trauma, depression, sexual assault, a traumatic brain injury, and years of questioning her own worth, she found an unexpected purpose helping foster youth and pursuing a future in mental health. In this episode of Never Did I Ever, Brianna shares her experiences in the Marine Corps, domestic abuse, assault, leaving law enforcement, rebuilding her identity, and discovering that the life she never planned may have been the one she needed most.
