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 used to battle depression and anxiety on a daily basis. A lifetime of abuse, trauma, and sickness left me scarred. 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 didn't happen. It is learning how to push through the pain, find purpose in it, and make your pain pay!
