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.
