The Brave Podcast

On todays episode of the podcast we get to hang out with Kim Ledgerwood. Kim was  a police officer for 28 yrs and  was diagnosed with PTSD and  Anxiety. Kim thought she was functioning okay and had everything  under control, not realizing her adiction was controlling her. Kim experienced a significant event that turned her life: professional, spiritual and personal completely upside-down. This caused her to start tackling her PTSD and addiction head on. In the midst of her battle, she found God. I loved my conversation with Kim and I believe you will walk away from her testimony feeling encouraged. Nothing is too big for our God!In this episode we discuss:FaithAddictionMental HealthWaterWant to know more about Kim?  Check out the links below:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLet's shop!The Drifted Drum has apparel, gifts, and decor that are faith inspired and hand crafted by local artists in Tennessee.  See something you like?   Use the code "Brave" at checkout to receive 10% off your purchase.Share a positive message with the clothing you wear; check out AlwaysHumble Apparel!  This Fresno based apparel company has the goal to motive and inspire others. What's Next?
