234 Grace Sammon

Listen to her story!

Grace’s story is about never really being done. She was sexually abused by a family friend and a Catholic priest. Initially, Grace felt that her voice didn’t matter. After her spouse and her job let her go, she created a new ‘her’ and launched into becoming an entrepreneur. This empowered Grace to give voice to those that didn’t have one and to turn to writing as she felt it was her personal best voice. She shares the following powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
– let’s listen to each others’ stories
– your voice matters
– strive to give voice to those that don’t have one
– if you’re lucky enough, turn your scars into stars
– we’re never really done
– strive to be observant and reflective of your life
– be patient with yourself
– this is a journey, not a rehearsal
– find a place where you are well grounded
– create a posse, who has your back
– we are much more than we imagine we are
– miracles happen every day
– trudge, trudge, miracle

232 David Richman

Listen to the interview!

When David’s sister was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, he realized that people had a hard time dealing with the emotional side of trauma. He embarked on a 5,000 mile bike ride over 6 weeks.  David interviewed and connected people affected by trauma. He gathered their stories into a book to help others be better equipped to deal with the emotional side of trauma. David’s very challenging bike ride enabled him to see others’ struggles and also to ponder on his sister’s loss. In addition to the book providing a service, 100% of its net proceeds go to the cancer focused charities chosen by the participants. He shares these nuggets of life wisdom:
– let’s strive to be in-tune with how others are feeling
– if you put your mind to something, you can do it
– we may not know what others are going through
– talk about it and ask questions
– take a concerted effort that we care by connecting with them
