Overcoming A Lifetime Of Adversity w/ Peter Woods

On this episode of Life Is Sound, we hear the incredible story of Peter Woods, who spent 18 years in the care system enduring numerous adversities from being moved from one home to another and suffering emotional and physical abuse during his childhood. Peter shares his story of finding love with a man he met in Amsterdam, and sadly, losing him which led to a profound sadness that lasted for a decade. He also discusses living as an openly gay man in prison, struggling with claustrophobia, and the psychological impact of spending years in the care system. Peter's unique journey has taught him the importance of being true to oneself and is now using his powerful story to help others. In all my years on this planet, it's safe to say I have not yet heard a story quite like Peters until now.

So join us as we learn about Peter's journey towards the very much deserved self-healing and overcoming a lifetime of adversity
