In a time when social media channels are bustling with self-care advice from wellness enthusiasts, motivational quotes from life coaches, and personal anecdotes about finding strength from women across the country— the story of Aalia Lanius stands out.
Lanius is a cancer survivor. She’s a victim of sexual abuse. She has overcome eating disorders and survived physically abusive relationships that led to self-esteem issues and suicide attempts. She has experienced homelessness, heartbreak, and divorce. She has struggled with resentment towards her own mother and feelings of loneliness.
But Lanius has also led a multi-million dollar retail company. She has defeated cancer twice. She has become a strong mother of four children, opened up about her life journey, and is now living what she considers her happily ever after.
