Courage Conversations

This was recorded during the October 2021 30 Days of Courage by Courage 365.  

Join us for a talk by Hollywood actress, survivor, and ex-Mormon Shelise Ann Sola followed by a LIVE Q+A. Reclaiming your life can be difficult after experiencing abusive people, religions, and situations. Shelise shares her story and offers guidance based on what has helped her find sovereignty in her own life.

In this episode, Dr. Guila Benchimol shares with us the similarities between survivors across different faith communities by introducing us to the experiences of survivors in her Orthodox Jewish faith community.   

We talk about how survivors of all faith traditions (and those without faith affiliation at all) are stronger together and how we can unite to create lasting change for all.   T
