"Stories of Healing" with Shawnna


Listen Later

One of the most challenging barriers to overcome when contemplating attending Milestones is the priorities and responsibilities people leave at home. When you have people depending on you, it can feel selfish to walk away from your life for 30-90 days to focus on yourself and your healing.


Today on the Treating Trauma Podcast, we welcome Milestone's alum Shawnna, who candidly shares about the barriers she overcame as a mom of seven children to attend both Onsite and Milestones. Shawnna shares how the healing hospitality she experienced enveloped her and gave her the permission to do the most selfless thing she's ever done—prioritizing her healing in a season when she needed it most.
