Abstract
Liv Sain compares her struggles in a metaphor about the journey to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop. She guides you through hard-hitting questions in a step-by-step process that will help you overcome barriers you may face. Liv Sain is a mental health speaker and bestselling author of Liv To Tell. Her own story makes her the perfect advocate, educator, and influencer for those who are looking for a way out of their own misery. Her struggles through repeated loss, failing out of college, and a myriad of diagnoses—Tourette Syndrome, epilepsy, bipolar disorder, depression, ADD, OCD, anxiety, alcohol abuse, and suicidal thoughts—resonate with people. Liv overcame all of these obstacles, including speech and language delays, to find her voice as a motivational speaker and to fight for suicide prevention. She is the founder of LGBTQ support group The Butterfly Talks in Orlando, Fla.
