 This episode discusses sexual abuse of a minor, suicide and mental health. 

This episode I spoke to Lora Devore. Lora is the author of the book darkness was my candle, an Odyssey of survival and grace. Whilst being a therapist and educator.

Lora is an abuse survivor having gone through a magnitude of traumatic events from a young age.

She candidly spoke to me about her childhood and what path and the influences of those she met along the way led her to choose love as oppose to hate and to be an advocate for trauma victims.
