The transformative painful story about coming to terms with sexual abuse. My guest this week reveals the trauma she suffered in her childhood. She spent decades unaware of her abuse, and her 40's were especially lived through in misery and pain. Listen to this insightful and inspiring story. And help me celebrate her 50's being her free-est decade yet!

You’ll hear the beautiful and brave story of how my guest, Joe, barely survived an overdose and how it transformed the rest of his life. You’ll learn about the surprising and disappointing things people are capable of but if you stick around until the end, you will also hear about the ability of people to do more than expected.

"The night my father was stabbed and other hilarious stories from my childhood" is the first in a series of episodes about overcoming trauma, living in the peaceful now, and making the decision to act. We can't control how we react in extreme situations but we can control how we act. Gaining control of our actions now may change how we react later.

By the end, you will have a very fun way to get a grip on your emotions and thoughts which will lead you to experience more joy and fulfillment in spite of the painful things.

We tell our stories to heal, help, grow, learn, inspire, and motivate. My hope is that you get exactly what you need at exactly the right moment you need it from these stories. Stick around after the story is told for the personal, professional, and spiritual exercise for the week.

All episodes are based on my program "The Ants Go Marching" that I created to help my clients find joy in spite of the painful things and create the confidence to move forward and achieve the dreams that have been put off due to fear, complacency, or loss.

Stop Dreaming. Get it Done.

God bless you!

Love, Chrissy
