In this episode, my friend Rosario (@jjunebugg) and I discuss what it was like growing up as Jehovah's Witnesses and how this affected our entire life: mental health, life-changing decisions, relationships, etc. We briefly touch on the trauma that this caused us (we will go more into detail about that in Part 2, coming soon!) and what led us to finally separate ourselves from that organization.

Disclaimer: All opinions in this episode are our own. Not everyone has the same experience, and we are simply sharing ours. We encourage everyone to do their own research about this religion (especially if you are a member).

Welcome to Nice to Meet Me! A podcast about self-discovery and getting to know yourself. I recently found myself burnt out and with zero idea about who I am or what my goals are. Come on the journey of self-discovery with me as we explore my inner thoughts and talk more about what you can expect on N2MM.

This week's quote: "Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you so you can become who you were meant to be in the first place” - Paulo Coelho
