VulnerABLE Podcast

This is Episode 47 of the VulnerABLE Podcast! She grew up in a home with a father who suffered from substance abuse, and held onto the same of it for years. Now she's using her story and experiences to help others find purpose in their pain! Her father struggled with substance abuse, which meant her upbringing was anything but easy. Not only that but it would lead to years of shame, and her not opening up about it to anyone. Then five years ago the sudden passing of her father due to a heart attack would begin a journey of healing. It would be her decision to join a grief group that would lead her down the path of helping others. After facilitating some of the same programs she went through she began to realize her why. Now through her and her husband’s company and podcast For The Good, they’re helping spread the message that your pain can lead to your purpose. Whether it’s speaking on stages or facilitating retreats she’s doing her best to use the vulnerabilities she’s faced to help people overcome their own.
