If you're new here to the Season of Supler podcast, it's something that we do every day Monday through Friday where we, you know, we do a nice little grounding center right before we get into the topic of hand. All right. And again, thank you, Carolyn, for joining us. So let's start from the beginning. Can you tell us about your early experiences with mental health and how that set the stage for your advocacy work? Yeah, I mean, I really can say that, you know, it all goes back to being bullied. When I was in third grade, I bought a death threat, and I didn't realize at the time that it kind of was what started to have myself down, my self-deprecation. Why don't people like me? Why don't I belong? The older I got, and when I got into high school, the anxiety and the depression got so much worse, and I struggled a lot with my mental health. It wasn't until I was a sophomore in high school that I found out that I actually had a learning disability called nonverbal, which is your highly verbal, but you struggle with like conceptual skills and stuff like that. So it was kind of why my anxiety and depression were amplified. I just didn't know it at the time, but it only kind of got worse from there. And that's really how it started. Wow, that's incredible. Powerful. Moving from those challenges, how did you find a strength to redefine your narrative? And what lessons did you enable in your book? But also I got a question is, during that time, when you realize about your diagnosis, no, answer my first question first, right? Because I want to know some more. But let's do that first. Like, you know, from your challenges, how did you find a strength to redefine your narrative? Yeah, I really think that it all kind of started with a life earning car accident. March 2020, I was lucky to be alive. I could have gone flying through the windshield. I grabbed my seatbelt seconds for the accident. It was a hit and run. The car was totaled. It was a blessing that everyone was still alive. And after that was kind of when I realized, and I'm a Christian. So for me, it was God giving me my second chance at life. And I knew that I wasn't going to take that lightly. And that's kind of where the whole okay, we're lucky to be alive. We're grateful. We have an amazing family and friends. And that's kind of how the book started. Okay. Now what lessons, like if they go to the book, what lessons have you embedded within the book, unbreakable? You know, I think a big lesson from the book and something that I do hope people take away is that you really have to be careful with how you treat people, because you might not think that your words are affecting them. But words can hurt. And saying these things to each other is not the answer. And I just really hope that people can understand that their words have a huge impact. And I really hope that people can see that you have to be kind to people because you don't know what they're facing. So that's like a really big thing because bullying is like the beginning of the book. But I really want that to be a lesson that people take away because it's so true, like words really matter how you save them. And I mean, we don't always say the same thing or the right thing. And like sometimes I literally don't even speak English. But like, we all try our best every day. And I think that everyone should be okay and acknowledged for that and not ever get torn down or anything like that. So really, it is about kindness and kind of like, you know, not bullying people. I think that's like a really big thing because a lot of people don't know and don't advocate for it. And I think we just need to be more aware. Yeah. Yeah, that one. I want to go back to nonverbal that right there. For you, what does that look like for us that don't know what it is or what? Because honestly, this is the first time that I've ever heard of it. What does that look like? What does it sound like? Yes. So when I first found out I was Eric and he's as well, but basically what it is is like, you struggle, which I struggled a lot with math in sciences. I really struggled with a spatial awareness, which some of my best friends explains my parallel parking really that explains that. And also to just kind of like just being like aware of like where I am spatially is something that like I've had to kind of learn because I do struggle with seeing things differently with that. But the biggest thing that nonverbal actually has has affected me with and something that I didn't realize at the time, but so kids with nonverbal tend to internalize a lot more than most people. So say you're in a breakup and say that some person's going to get over in a month. It might take you three or four months because it's just like you let go in a different way. So you really do struggle when people come in and out of your life because for me at least, I internalized everything, every interaction, everything like that. And you know, thought that if I was, you know, I thought I wasn't good enough. So that was something that really started to affect me once I like actually understood it. And it's just kind of something that I really try to be as aware about as I can be now. But it is something that still affects me daily. I'm not going to lie. Like it's it's something I have to kind of balance with my mind and mindfulness to really kind of make sure that I'm not going down a rabbit hole. Like I used to. Right. So how would, how would one know? How would one be diagnosed? Like what are the symptoms of that? Because you know, when you hear nonverbal, you think like someone is just not talking. Yeah. Right. And like a preventative. So what what are the symptoms? So if anyone is out there just listening right now and have a young child and going through these difficulties, that that might can, you know, go to their doctor and give them that. Yeah. Well, I'm not a doctor, but from what I've experienced personally, I would say really struggling with conceptual skills and school. Like if you struggle a lot with like math or science or like for me, it was also I had like had so many tutors. And yet I still was not doing well. And if you're working so hard and your results are not adding up, that was kind of when my parents were like, wait a second. This isn't making sense. So that is one when I did go get a neuropsych evaluation test. But you know, I think it's up to the doctor to see like what exactly each individual person needs. Right. Now for you. Now for that, that what will be a plan for that for you. How are you able to maintain or manage your nonverbal? I think it's kind of something that you learn every day. I think, you know, this is something I live with. And it's something that I used to feel was like was me, but it's not my identity. It's just a part of me. But you know, kids with nonverbal actually have some strengths that others people don't. And I found that out through writing. I found that out through I also love singing and songwriting. And I love writing songs and coming up with stuff like creativity is a lot more what I'm good at. And so I realized that you know what, maybe this actually is a strength and maybe this is my superpower. That's beautiful. I like that you turned that around. So let me ask you this, as in terms of advocacy, how do you approach with raising awareness and what impact do you hope to make in these communities, especially among the youth? Well, I'm very, very passionate about anti bullying, so that we do have less people taking their lives. So I would say really, even if I can help one kid or one person, that's all I want to do. I mean, I want to do this with my life. I want to, you know, be able to have a platform to spread awareness and help people understand like, it's okay not to be okay. And like, you're not alone. There's so many people going through similar things to you. And it's just sometimes really easy to lose sight of that, which I tended to do that a lot, which is really kind of why I started with my anxiety and depression. And I just, you know, really want these kids to know like, it's for like that 16 year old me. I'm like, I want that kid to know they are so much more than they think they are right now. And they have so much life ahead of them. And 16 year old Carol does not need to compare herself to every other girl, because comparing is the thief of joy. And I've learned, you know, you can't do that either. And so really kind of spreading awareness to you of like, be yourself, be who you are. You don't have to fit the mold. You know, no one does. And no one is supposed to, but yet society has made it seem like we have to. And that's where I really want to hope, make it different. That's great. So let me actually this, because that's 16 years old, my 16 years old, I didn't have social media. This is my question. How do you feel about social media? Do you think there should be an age limit on when parents should allow their children? And it's just just just, this is, you know, not you saying, yeah, but I just wanted to give your input when children should be allowed on the social media. I'll be honest with you. I don't like social media, because I think we have just literally taken it downhill, but I am on it so that I can hopefully promote like kindness and awareness and stuff. Because when I was in high school, that was when Twitter, Instagram, like all of those things were first coming out. So like, I saw, you know, the Friday night plans I wasn't invited to on Twitter, and I saw the pictures of the parties I wasn't invited to on the weekends on Instagram. So like, it was just the start of that. I was not cool in high school, obviously, but I like, I really, yeah, I did struggle a lot with it, just kind of finding my place and stuff like that. But I will say like, as a parent, I'm not a parent yet, but I feel like kids, especially because of seeing some of my best friends, kids grow up, I feel like kids definitely need to be at a certain age before they get even a phone, because something like having these kids tell you they're not good enough and not worthy, it breaks your heart. I remember I went to one of my best friend's daughters party for her birthday, and I said, oh my gosh, you look beautiful. And she was like, no, I don't, I'm ugly. I was like, you're seven years old, and you already think that about yourself. And it broke my heart. Like, I was like, we have to do something about this. This isn't okay. She should be living her life and she doesn't even have a phone, no, but she sometimes goes on her mom's, but I'm like, it's just like the kids are growing up in that sense of like having phones at like the age of like six. Like, it's just, honestly, I'm not judging any parents, they can do what they think are best for their kids. I think that's really kind of what it comes down to. But I just think personally, social media is destroying this next generation of kids. And social media is the reason why we are having such a decrease in human interaction and in vulnerability. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm listening to when I when I look at you, I want to go and give you a hug. Let me tell you why. In 2020, you said that you was in a car accident, kind of like kind of just change your whole perspective on things. In anyone else, anybody else in this world, if that happened, it would have broke down, especially being diagnosed with nonverbal. This iHeart Radio Station is brought to you by Vitamin Water.

Especially during that time of 2020, where we were all isolated. So if anything, and I'm just speaking into you right now, if anything, this show your strength. You know, because a lot of us, a lot of times when people are isolated and not able to be, you know, connected to people or be out in the world. Because at that moment, at that time, we didn't know what was going on. This is something that never happened, that the whole entire world being shut down. But for you to actually do your trauma, through what you went through, that you was able to see a light. You were actually able to see something to do for someone else. But also to be able to go through your own healing process as well. And so I'm going to say this, I commend you for that. Thank you. Yeah, I truly do. Because even in that moment in time, and we're going to go and talk about this month series that we're talking about, and that's a healing beyond betrayal. Do you being bullied from them from with third grade into probably going into high school for you? Probably longer. Okay, probably longer. I mean, I don't know, my freshman year or college, I almost did try to take my life. So that's kind of why the correlation of wanting to make a difference. Because I realized I had two chances that almost dying once by choice, and once literally just praying out to make it out of their life. And I knew that wasn't a coincidence. And so that's kind of when my healing process did start, because I was like, I'm so blessed to be alive. Like I have this new appreciation for life that I didn't even know I could have. Right, so, so I asked me this, because that is something that's, that's, that's deep. That's deep. I just take it, take a quick breath. And it's not a judgment, but because I feel you right now, I feel you and I feel everything that's happening. Tell my listeners, how did you get through that? Like what was like when you say, okay, Carolyn, I want to live. Why do I want to live? You know, what do I, how do I get through this every day? You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, I think it literally all goes back to knowing your self-work and knowing that you have a purpose, you have a reason for being here. Everyone has a story that they can tell, because everyone should be able to use their voice. And for so long, I was, you know, just silently struggling. But I realized that by using my voice, I could impact, help and help other kids who are struggling. So my hope is that by the kids who are finally struggling, see me and be like, wait a second, I can be open about this. And just like create a community of people coming together and realizing that like, we can get through this together. And like, life doesn't have to be so like, you know, trying to like, hurt each other. Because I just, I feel like so much of life is especially in high school and, you know, college and stuff, it's like, you're in this weird situation of like, okay, like, wait, who am I? Who am I? And like, why do I belong, you know? And you're not thinking like that when you're 15. I mean, I was not thinking like that when I was 15. But I think the biggest thing that I always say is I say, find a passion that makes you happy. And they always go to something. And one person was like, art. And I was like, okay, well, I'm not a therapist, but like, why don't you cope with that? Why don't you do that? Why don't you try to do that? And really kind of just like find healthy coping mechanisms. I think that's the key to getting through life is coping, coping, coping, healthy coping. See, I told you, sometimes kids talk like the healthy coping and just kind of realizing that like, there are ways to get through life. And getting a strong support system is so essential. And that is something I believe everyone deserves. And that is exactly why I wrote Unbreakable, because I want to build a community. I want to build a sense of, hey, you're having a bad day. Let's talk about it, or make social media great, make it positive, things that are going to actually help people. And I think that's the biggest thing I always say. And more than that too, I just say, there's so much more for you. And you have to believe. I was like, I don't care what you believe in, find something to believe in, because I feel like once I started to, not to get like, but I am Christian. And once I started to really kind of follow my faith, I kind of noticed a difference in my life. And I'm like, so for you, if it's like gods or higher power, whatever it is, find something to believe in, because that is what is going to keep you going. And faith is everything. All right. So let me ask you this, because I'm very spiritual. I'm about God and understanding exactly what the connection with God. And I heard that you're a Christian. I was a Christian baptizing all that. And this is going to be a question. Have you found faith in yourself? Yes. And I think I found faith in myself through God and through believing that in my support system, like picking me back up when I was down and realizing how amazing life can be when you have your people and you have this hat, like, and you're actually happy. And that's something I dreamed of. I dreamed of being happy. I remember I was so depressed in college. And like now, like without any outside force, I'm just happy. And I'm very like, you know, every day I'm still learning, but I'm really trying to love myself as much as I can every day and definitely self-care as well. I love this for you. I do. I love this for you because I see you coming out that coming out the darkness into the light and it looks good. It looks good. It looks good. It looks good. And I'm like, I don't even know if I want to ask this question, but I have to because this is what this show is about. The Healing Beyond Betrayal. This is a whole series of this month. And I want to kind of just come on theme with this for a moment. Can you discuss how your self-betrayal played? Because so let me come back. Let me come back. Through the time you were in third grade, going into your college and adulthood, has there ever been a moment that you felt betrayal from others? Well, I know you have from others and from yourself. For sure. I feel like there's always a moment where there's always something in life that you're going to do and you're going to be like, I think the betrayal of yourself all goes back to loving yourself. It's a fine line of when you hate yourself and you want to betray yourself, which I totally did by doing unhealthy coping, which I had to learn healthy coping, which made my life so much better. But I would really say it. It's like a betrayal to self-love. That's kind of how I see it. Because when you betray yourself, you're not to even tear yourself. When you betray yourself, you're hurting yourself. You're not in a good place. And I think that when you learn to kind of like, "Hey, I am awesome. I am cool. I do deserve someone who worships the ground I walk on." Not even in a cocky way, but it's just like learning how to know your work and know that by loving yourself, other people will see that you love yourself. And they'll be like, "Wait a second. This is someone I want to be around." And it's really all like about too, just like spreading positive energy and like being nice to everyone because you just don't know what someone else is going through. Right. You are so true. Earlier, you talked about using our words, I said impeccably, but using great words. There's a book and I'm going, "I don't know if you read it before." It's called "The Four Agreements" by Miguel Ruas. It's an amazing book. You should read it. It has four agreements. The first agreement is use our words impeccable because as you say, words are powerful or as a magic. When I first read that book, it kind of changed my whole perspective of even my relationships with people, even with my relationships with people. I believe the second one is don't take it personal. Boy, it's not about you. A lot of times we make up stories in our head where somebody might think about us and stuff like that. And it could be further from the truth, but we have already talked ourself into that. I was the queen of that. Literally making up people with all stories in my head. So this person really hates you because they looked at you this way and all seven. Then you just go down like this whole route at all. Yeah, but it's an amazing book. And just that you were seeing that, it just kind of like ting-ting-ting and I said, "Okay, I'll make sure that I'm going to answer that before we get off of you about that." And I was just saying, "Go, go check that book out." It's a really good book anymore. Wait, what is it? I'll write it. It's called "The Four Agreements." Okay. By Miguel Ruiz. Are you Ivy? And it's an amazing book. It's an amazing book. It really is. And then once you read it, hit me up and say, "Yeah, ma'am. It's good." I will. I'll tell you how I like it. I'll have to Amazon it though because if I go to Barnes & Noble, I might actually end up with more books than I need, which is so funny because I used to hate Barnes & Noble. And I hated reading and now I love it. Yeah. I think that book alone would be very great because then it might be, you got to unbreakable and then it might go on to another series and another. I'm just speaking to you too, baby. Let's go on and on and on and on. Because what your advocacy, especially with talking to you, I think it could be amazing. Truly, really, could be very amazing. You have a lot of people that go through, a lot of the kids, especially right now, that go through those teenage years from teenager pre-teen to teenage into adulthood and don't know how to transition to each one of those times. Because even you can have a friend that you have in 456 grade. As soon as you go to middle school, there's a whole new environment of people. And that friendship that you had early on is no longer there. So what do you do with it? You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. You've been on the end of being believed. So now you can use some of those tools that get you through to teach the other children or the other teenagers on how to get through. Yeah. It's definitely, that's the biggest thing, though too, and that's also why unbreakable is that word means a lot to me because not only did I realize that I was unbreakable but I feel like we all can be unbreakable because life throws things that you day in and day out and you'll get knocked down and people will betray you and hurt you and all the, but that will happen too. But through all of it, you're not gonna break because you're unbreakable and your life is unbreakable. And that's how I try to see mine now because I'm like, "No, I'm unbreakable. If someone wants to betray me, fine. I'm unbreakable. Like, I'll move on." So I think it's just kind of knowing something to really follow and be like, "Wait a second. This is how I should be living my life." But also when you're a kid, your brain's not fully developed so you're not thinking like that. But I think that really knowing that unbreakable is more than just a book, it's more than just a brand. It's a word that I just think everyone needs to tap into because we all can make it through if we just keep going and stay resilient because resilience only makes you stronger and you never know how much you could help someone just by even speaking your truth. Yes. Yes. Beautiful. Thank you. Beautiful. Beautiful. All right. So look, that was it. It was simple. Okay. Yeah. That was beautiful. Well, as we wrap up, I love our listeners to reflect on their journeys. But if you have any questions or stories, that you'd like to share, please reach out through social media channels in Caroline. Is there anything, any advice, anything else? I want to give your handles of what it can find a book at. Yeah.

Or you can also go to my Instagram, which is carolin.scowron and yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. And I have my link tree there. So I like my TikTok and all that stuff there because TikTok also too, if you are in high school, watch the TikTok series that I have. It's so high school. Yes, I love to live. But I called this series so high school because I wanted to make a series that's really going to help high schoolers. So definitely check it out if you're in high school. I love this little high school. How did my air pump just fall out of that year? I'm really having a beautiful day. I love that. That's so high school. You know, actually, I would love to bring you back on to speak on that, particularly on that series right there. Sure. I think it's much needed. It truly is much needed for that.
