Struggle Creates Strength started solely off of my internal drive to help people facing mental health struggles. I have personally struggled with mental health my entire life, so it is a subject that I hold close to my heart. By no means am I an expert on the topic of mental health, but through various personal encounters I have become a very knowledgeable mental health advocate. I am someone who constantly has a smile engraved on my face, but for a long time it was not genuine. My smile was used to mask the emotional struggles and distress that I encountered on an every day basis. Ultimately, I created Struggle Creates Strength to prove that EVERYONE HAS A STORY. No two stories are the same, but every story has the potential to help someone else. Through the podcasts I have filmed thus far I have learnt more about myself and realized that I can rate to certain extents with so many more people than I thought. I’m so excited to start a movement that has the potential to shake the world with the power of speech! Share your support and join the movement and help someone else’s today

Lauren Mcnairn, 16 years-old, is taking a leap and making a difference with her story. She started acknowledging that a piece of her was different from a very young age which led to her finding out she had autism. Following her diagnosis came a misconception from herself and others ultimately leading to severe bullying and a constant feeling of loneliness. Over time Lauren was able to accept and understand her diagnosis better, but mental health struggles still continued to knock on her door step. Lauren found herself in depressive states which led to a suicidal attempt and pushed her into a rebellious state. She started drifting away from who she truly was, but her passions re-grounded herself and always got her back on track. Creativity runs throughout Lauren all the way to her core and in times of distress she escapes through her creativity. She loves being a performing artist and singing, dancing, acting, and social media all allow her to express her true self. Lauren is wise beyond her years and shares her story with great pride and is hopeful that you will too!
