Brandon Walden is a best selling author and a public speaker. However, more importantly, he is a husband and a father of 5 beautiful daughters. Brandon always dreamed of using his love of art, and desire to help people, by becoming an art therapist. However, upon graduating high school, Brandon found himself pursuing missions opportunities in third world countries to serve the poor and needy. This decision informed him greatly in his desire to serve the broken, but also completely changed his trajectory as a young man. For many years he’d often find himself traveling the world looking for serving opportunities.    Several years later he married his best friend, Stephanie. Then, years into marriage and having children, Brandon began a journey of healing and therapy from abuse he endured as a young boy. He’s spent the past 6 years turning hurt into healing and pain into purpose. It was through this healing journey that he began to write his first children’s book called, Seeds and Trees. It’s a tale about the power of words (seeds). Brandon often says it's his story, cleverly disguised as a children's book. He and his wife formed The Treasured Tree, LLC. late in 2017 as a collaborative company creating resources for parents, teachers and therapist and families. Brandon’s team is currently preparing curriculum that can be used in public schools and home schools across the nation based on the concepts presented in Seeds and Trees.    "Be careful what you water, for it will surely grow."   In this episode you'll learn:  

• The power of words 
• There's a cost for success and someone has to pay
• Your identity will influence the kind of decisions you'll make
• Our identity shouldn't be found in what we do  
• From a negative perspective, one of the things that have one of the greatest return on investment is that of sexual abused
• And so much more!!
