You are Important to me!
A Note from our founder!
MAKE YOUR PAIN PAY!
Hi! My name is Laneen Haniah, but you can just call me Lah. I have battled depression and anxiety since I was a child. A lifetime of abuse, trauma, sickness, abandonment, and bullying left me scarred and damaged, but depspite my past, I managed to do great things. I wrote bestselling books, hosted an award-winning radio broadcast, have been a keynote speaker around the country—and best of all, I gave birth to seven beautiful children! But even with all of these accomplishments, I continued to secretly battle suicidal depression and tried to end my life on seven different occasions.
My last and FINAL suicide attempt was on November 16, 2017. Waking up to my beautiful children the next morning and thinking about the pain I would have left them in, was the last straw for me. I made a resolute decision to honor my life going forward, and I have been committed to that decision ever since!
A painful past is just that—it is a painful thing that is BEHIND you, in your past. Life can hurt, but I've discovered that it's not about trying to pretend the pain isn't there. It is learning how to push through the pain, find purpose in it, and make your pain pay!

I made a strong and unbreakable commitment to myself to never attempt to end my life again, but if I'm being honest—sometimes that is easier said than done! Some days I'm going strong and some days... well... I'm just going, LOL.
In late April of this year, I experienced a severe depressive episode, the worst one I'd had since my last suicide attempt in 2017. It frightened me, to say the least. I knew I needed to take drastic measures to keep myself from falling into the abyss. That is when I began what has now become my official "Healing Out Loud" journey, through daily social media check-ins!
Every day I do a short video reel. It is my way of holding myself accountable for my emotional health, and never taking a single day for granted. I recently reached the 230-day mark and plan to do this until the apocalypse happens or The Lord calls me home, LOL. Mental health mindfulness is a DAILY RESPONSIBILITY. I hope that my healing out loud journey will encourage others to commit themselves to daily accountability.
