Check Out Valaria Scott’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Valaria Scott.

Hi Valaria, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was born by a married man and my mother was an alcoholic. She realized my father wasn’t leaving his wife for her, so she gave me to my grandparents to raise. I was molested by my first cousin and stepbrother. I was in special needs up to the sixth grade, then fell the 6th grade. I was bullied and abused by my mother when my grandmother passed away. I was full of anger and started having sex with multiple men, and ended up getting Gonnera at the age of 18. Went to jail twice for fighting and anger issues. Later, I turned my life around and went to college, earning my doctorate and opened my therapist business in 2015.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road. I was abandoned, mustered, abused, bullied, special needs, sexually transmitted disease, in jail twice, and two miscarriages.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an Anger Management Therapist. I help people overcome their personal emotions. I specialize in Anger Management, Family Violence, Parenting, Decision Making and more. I am proud that I did not become a product of my environment, I’m excited that I turned my weakness into greatness. What sets me apart from others is that I don’t look like what I have been through.

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
I wrote two books called Overcome Changing Your Mindset and You Got This.
