Sometimes life brings us unexpected challenges, and Jastina faced something most of us hope we never do. She bravely confronted a severe accident that left her paralyzed, and yet, through it all, she shares with us the true strength of the human spirit. Her journey wasn’t easy, but she found a way to heal—not just physically, but emotionally, too. By reaching out for mental health support, she discovered the power of asking for help and the importance of caring for our minds as well as our bodies.
