In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey psychotherapist, Alec and Matthew have a fascinating conversation about near-death experiences and healing from trauma with drag legend for over 30 years, Miss Coco Peru.

Miss Coco Peru shares the story of the harrowing accident that nearly took her life and how she was able to transform pain into power. Coco talks openly about how her relationship with her parents improved, her reaction to the bullying she endured evolved, and how she felt a renewed sense of strength from having survived the unthinkable. In this episode, you will learn about how to survive and thrive after trauma, the benefits of getting help when you need it, and most importantly, how to handle being upstaged by a snoring dog.
