  • Creating Your Own Path with Dr. Kim Johnson Hatchett

    Dr. Kim holds many titles: Wife, Mom, Little Sister, Daughter.  But before that, she held the title of ex-wife.

    Your first example of how to connect, love, and nurture is provided by your parents. But what happens if your family doesn't fit the idyllic TV show definition of a family? In this episode, I speak with Obio Jones. Obio is an influencer, coach + LGBTQ advocate.

About It Didn't Break Me

From the publisher's feed

What’s something you thought would break you but it didn’t? The It Didn’t Break Me podcast answers this question. Each season of, It didn’t break me, is created with the intention of being a safe space for honest and vulnerable conversations with people, who share their transformational life stories around the messy stuff they didn't think they'd come back from, and yet they are still here, courageously accepting themselves as they are and giving themselves permission to show up as their true self letting their light shine.
