© 2024 Surviving Trauma: Stories of Hope
Description
The podcast stays true to its name in that the show is about people who have overcome traumatic events in their lives and are now sharing the inspirational stories of hope that they have taken away from having gone through those events. The show starts with me sharing my own life-changing experiences, emotions, lessons, and aids that helped me and others survivors to heal and hopefully the listeners will know that they are not alone and leave the show with a positive take away. From time to time, we also call on experts to help and guide us with some of the questions that we may have.
