On today's episode, our 1st of 2022, we are celebrating and remembering Aliyah who's mom took her life 9 years ago today. If you've been a listener, you'll remember back in 2020 when Bonnie, her grandmother, came on and talked about that painful time. Today we speak with her Aunt, Sarah as she recalls that day and we discuss the various red flags, lack of DCF findings, and possibly the worst part, when a doctor didn't report a skull fracture and possible brain bleed 2 day's before her passing.

Today we surround this family with prayers and thoughts about this sweet girl taken far too soon. Please see the below resources discssed on this episode and please reach out with any questions or if you need help finding a resource or support.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED.

Roman Roberts grew up in foster homes which were, as he calls it, “less than ideal” encountering various types of abuse causing him to join the military to find family, and led him on a journey as an interrogator, deploying multiple times and supporting various special operation teams. But the trauma from foster care and the military took its toll as he transitioned and led to him almost committing suicide and almost losing his marriage. He began a journey to face the traumas and through faith, journaling, and Real Talk with himself and others, he found healing and is now encouraging others to do the same.

In this episode we discuss all sorts of things that could act as triggers for you or your children. Listener discretion is advised.

Marie is a Life Coach, Registered Therapist, and Clinical Hypnotherapist for Women who feel stuck, lost, and anxious, who are at a crossroads in their life, and want to rediscover who they are and reignite their purpose and passion but don’t know where to start.

She's been around the block a few times; having worked in high powered demanding corporate positions, endured a long term toxic relationship, culminating in an extremely acrimonious divorce.

She's the mother of a special needs disabled son and have walked paths that have caused me stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, overwhelm and which obliterated my self-confidence and self-esteem.

I combine all these skills with my own personal experiences and I’m committed to empowering others to quickly and permanently take control of their lives and live it to the full with invincible self-confidence, freedom, and fun without overwhelm, limitation or being shackled to their past negative experiences, emotions, and beliefs.
