My guest today on Everyday Heroes survived one of the U.K.'s worst train incidents in history. It was believed that she would not make it because of the serious injuries she sustained in the disaster. Not only did she survive, with the help and dedication of her medical team and family plus her own determination, but she also became the public face to the lead the charge of survivors against the government and train commission for rail safety. She wrote a book, "From Behind the Mask", about her life and ordeal. Very thankful to have Pam Warren, International Public Speaker and Leadership Trainer, as today's guest.

On today’s episode, Part 2 of “The Storm Inside”, Renee shares about a time in her twenties when she pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and agreed to join a sailing expedition from Spain to Thailand. Renee hadn't any sailing experience and everything that could go wrong did...and in terrifying fashion.

She bravely faced; a health crisis, serious mechanical failures, the threat of pirates, insect swarms and a category five cyclone.

This adventure at sea turned into a journey of the soul as Renee was forced, not only to deal with the elements and other incidents beyond her control, but face the deeply buried trauma of sexual assault and finally break her silence to reclaim her power.

This interview is based on her recently released memoir, "I Want To Go Home:  Reclaiming Power After Sexual Assault”.
