Sarah Yanagi on Ayana’s Substack

I minimize what happen to me when I was sexually assaulted, when I needed a mental health break from ministry and my now ex-husband allowed our entire marriage implode rather than prioritize me, and with the day to day things that happen to me. I’m the best gaslighter and spiritual bypassed to myself. I’ve been (ironically) beating myself up for this all week long, because I see the way this holds me back. Your vulnerability here is exactly the “me too” I needed to feel less alone in it. And that’s powerful. Thank you. I’m so so sorry for your loss. I’ve been following you since your pre-parent days and I know she was your first baby. That’s a tragic loss, full stop.
