Thriving Through Trauma and Adversity...No Matter What with Heather Reid
Oct 8, 2020
We all know that traumatic events in our lives can print an indelible mark on our psyche, but how do we move through the aftermath to see a better outcome on the other side? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Heather Reid who will share her stories of pain, the damage it did and how she moved beyond her own issues to become an example and a voice for her own children in their times of need.
Heather is no stranger to change and challenges in her personal life. She is a survivor of sexual trauma in her youth, and the mom of two adult children with thought-provoking life stories of their own! By candidly sharing the lessons she has learned throughout her life, Heather hopes to help others on their own journeys of change and challenges.
