Episode 45: Austin - Disabled to Becoming a Nurse

Benzodiazepine Awareness with Geraldine Burns

This was one episode I wanted to do for a while, but due to computer problems back in September of 2021 and then both of our lives getting hectic, I’m just now getting back to doing this unbelievable story which I feel will give so many hope of a full recovery. When I interviewed Teryn in Episode 22 she talked about the other woman she met in the benzo groups who was as sick as her. Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Austin who is that person. Like Teryn she had become so physically ill her first husband had to stay home to take care of her. Benzo illness can lead to so many tragedies and triumphs. Her marriage ended in divorce. Austin is now happily remarried with five children, four of which she had after she recovered and has become a Registered Nurse. At the end of the podcast I make announcement about my new job.
