About this audiobook

Victoria Arlen shares her story of overcoming impossible odds. This mental health testimony is an encouragement for Christian who struggle with mental health & anxiety in their faith. This book provides the reader with encouragement for mental illness. Imagine appearing to have it all―a miraculous story of survival, a rewarding career as a TV host and reporter, multiple medal wins in swimming, and the opportunity to travel the world speaking―but silently wanting to end it all … and nearly succeeding. At the height of her success, Victoria Arlen found herself in a hopeless place she calls Rock-Bottomville. Behind the smile was a struggle few could see. Victoria could no longer outrun the anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts pulling her down. She was known as the woman who―despite being written off as a lost cause―had emerged from a four-year vegetative state and survived. Then very quickly thrived. But the weight of being "the successful survivor" became too much. She spent a decade encouraging others not to give up, but she was slowly giving up on herself. In this powerful book, Victoria speaks directly to the rising mental health crisis among younger adults, sharing helpful tools and powerful truths. You'll get: A POWERFUL STORY OF HOPE & HEALING – TV host and Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Victoria Arlen shares her inspiring journey through anxiety, depression, and emotional struggle toward renewed faith, healing, and purpose. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ANYONE FACING MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES – This honest and hope-filled story reminds readers they are not alone in their battles with fear, burnout, depression, or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. PURPOSE THROUGH PAIN & DIFFICULT SEASONS – Through deeply personal experiences, Victoria offers encouragement for overcoming hardship, showing how faith, resilience, and hope can bring meaning even in life's darkest moments. A CHRISTIAN BOOK ABOUT FAITH, RESILIENCE & RECOVERY – Perfect for readers seeking emotional healing and spiritual encouragement, this uplifting memoir explores perseverance, mental wellness, and trusting God through uncertainty. A REMINDER IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY – With compassion and authenticity, Victoria shares practical truths about healing, self-worth, and finding strength through community, faith, and personal growth. As Victoria has discovered, the climb out of Rock-Bottomville is steep, but the view from a place of faith, hope, and healing is always worth it.
