As humans, we experience events and traumas during our lifetime that compiled become a part of our story. Sometimes the past shows up in the present, and we're uncomfortable owning what happened to us, let alone sharing our truth. Sadness, shame, and emotional pain can be tied to these events, making them hard to relive. When we're able to claim our own stories, we're able to heal from the past and truly move forward, living in the present.

Leanna Joan, Creator and Host of the Hello and Goodbye podcast, shares how she was able to claim her story and share it with the world. She's overcome shame from her divorce, untangled the effects of spiritual trauma, and accepted the diagnosis of a mental illness. She now uses her voice to help others.
