I've Got Scars Baby!

I've Got Scars Baby! is about exploring "scars" of all sorts, from physical to mental and emotional "scars." We will speak with people from various backgrounds who share their life lessons and how they have become empowered by their scars. The purpose of this show is to present the audience with possibilities for overcoming trauma and turning your scars into your superpower.ABOUT AUDRA:Life Coach/Motivational Speaker/Author Audra Bryant is a life coach, motivational speaker, singer, and author who shares her transformational journey of healing to help others turn their scars into their superpower. After an accident caused her to receive burns on her chest, neck and shoulder at the tender age of 18-months, Bryant spent nearly 25 years trying to rid herself of the scars with surgeries, compression vests, acid treatments, and injections.She then began to cover them with t-shirts and turtlenecks and refused to look at her scars in the mirror until she was 25 years old, only to find herself missing out on her purpose and meaningful relationships. Because of her experience, the Detroit native wrote her song “Scars” to encourage others going through similar situations and shares her journey in a book “I’ve Got Scars Baby! How to Embrace Your Scars and Power Your Purpose.” In it, Bryant reveals that through prayer, affirmations, therapy, and other methods, she eventually found her purpose by embracing her scars. Additionally, as a certified life coach, she’s empowered countless others through workshops, personal coaching, speaking engagements, online courses, and her podcast “I’ve Got Scars Baby!”, which explores “scars” of all sorts from physical to mental and emotional.Bryant’s infectious smile, impeccable talent and powerful testimony led to her being a motivational speaker and performer for The Detroit Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Los Angeles Unified School District, Accelerated Radio, LA Talk Radio and the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.Through the victories and the times of challenge, Bryant’s learned that we all have a purpose that is inextricable linked to one another so it is her desire to encourage others in their journey and make them smile along the way!To learn more or purchase Audra’s book please visit: https://www.audrabryant.com/
