S1 E8: Journey to Healing

*TW* Sexual Assault discussed in detail.

My journey to awakening has been a wave of life events and during this intimate conversation with my dear friend, Jennie Willoughby, I share my story; my experience with misplaced identity, depression, and sexual trauma.  Through my healing process I am clear that my mission is to be the light for anyone in a dark space.  I believe to my core that healing is a collective up-level for all humanity.  When one person heals, that offers healing for another soul.  "My healing is your healing and OUR healing is Power."~ Jill Heiman

S1 E7: Grace in Your Corner

It is time to shine some light into the darkness of depression and bring awareness to this often hidden mental illness.  Depression is far too common in today's world and I am grateful to have this conversation with Cory Strathman around how he overcame the depths of darkness.  You will hear one man's truth around re-connecting to self, God, and clarity of his mission with Grace in Your Corner.  The time is NOW to raise awareness of yourSELF and those around you.  Please know, that you are NOT ALONE in this - I hope you gain some light and courage through this story.

About Cory:

From a young, successful principal at the age of 28 to an unemployed 34 year old, I've experienced it all. I am determined to bring attention to how to handle life's challenges after mine came halting to a stop in January 2019. I am a son, husband, father of 2 boys, but most of all I was lost. Depression led to alcohol abuse, a DUI, resignation from my job, and deep soul searching. It was time to surrender to God and let him guide me. With a multi-tiered plan of supports, I have found a clear path to redemption. If my words reach just one person, then my time is well spent. Remember you are not alone. We will break down the social stigmas in life and encourage everyone to speak up.  Together, people will see asking for help is not a weakness, but the biggest strength of all!
