A Journey Shared

It's no secret that diversity is the spice of life, yet only 5% of companies are minority-led, despite making up 15% of the UK's population. Often the only Asian woman in the room at conferences and classrooms, I decided to share insights so that others can glimpse at the world through a different lens. Covering a wide range of subjects such as art, business, mental health and race, A Journey Shared implores listeners to learn with an open mind, whilst aiding in my journey of healing from c-PTSD.New episodes are released every second Wednesday of the month. Naomi Hoang is a Tattoo Artist and founder of NAOHOA Luxury Bespoke Tattoos, with experience in the gaming industry as an Illustrator and Concept Artist.

A Journey Shared

03: Depression

January 08, 2021 • Naomi Hoang • Season 1 • Episode 3

This episode explores the turbulent, relentless rollercoaster of living with Depression. Mine went on for the best part of a decade, with particularly bad spells lasting months on end. Everyone's experience is different, though I hope my story brings some comfort to those going through this, and understanding to the lucky ones who aren't.

I sought professional aid after a bout of Labrynthitis tipped me over the edge, resulting in months of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), which helped immensely.

Warning: Refers to self harm and suicidal thoughts.
