In today’s episode, I am joined by a master social worker who shared the details of her personal life story of parental abandonment, foster care, drug addiction, and personal breakthrough. To be the person she envisioned herself to be, she had to go through a lot of something. Although experiencing a life filled with adversity, she refused to let deep hardship stop her from overcoming. I invite you to listen to the heartfelt real-life twists and turns shared by master social worker Shanna Robins-Donnell in today’s episode. Consider your own history and its influence in your life today.
