Is it possible to triumph over profound adversity and find a renewed sense of purpose? Join us as we welcome back Jen Vonn for a deeply moving continuation of her story in "Triumph Over Trauma." Jen's courageous recount of living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) sheds light on the complex challenges she's faced with speech and understanding. She reveals her decision to opt for medication over surgery to manage seizures, preserving her language and personality traits. Jen's journey is not just about coping but thriving against the odds, as we also touch on her parents' legal battles to hold her school accountable for the incident leading to her injury.

How does faith interplay with mental health in a world that's increasingly recognizing the importance of both? In "Faith, Mental Health, and Generational Influence," we examine the evolving landscape of mental health within faith communities. This conversation stresses the necessity of professional counseling along with spiritual practices, we spotlight the shift in attitudes across generations, recognizing the role of therapy in fostering holistic well-being and the courage it takes to break cycles of secrecy and neglect.
