When Survival Looks Like Success
How often do you look at someone's picture online or in a magazine and think "Damn, they must have it all together!" But what you don't see is the pain, the taxing mental struggle, and the sacrifice that goes into all of it. This podcast is about that peek behind the curtain where we discuss changes that need to be made, share our stories, and tell the truth about some hard topics in an effort to create community and comradery.
