Heidi had finally begun to feel alive after years of depression and suicidal thoughts, and had met the man of her dreams, Mike, in a seminar. They fell in love and began a life together. Then, the day before her 40th Birthday, Mike, had a massive heart attack in front of her. She tried CPR, and she watched while the first responders did everything they could but they couldn't save him . It's been 2.5 years. since that day. Heidi discusses grief in an amazingly clear way.

Diana was 17 years old, in the first class of her high school day, when she saw the first plane explode into one of the Twin Towers, just 2 x blocks away. Her story of the events that day, the confusion, the panic, and the memory black outs that she buried along with the trauma, make for an incredible and emotional episode. This week, on the 20th anniversary of the atrocities, we hear how that day shaped Diana's life. We discuss the years that followed, the self doubt, and the ear, that slowly, and incredibly, turned into empowerment and freedom. An inspiring episode for an inspiring and emotional week.

TRIGGER / CONTENT WARNING: Domestic Abuse and Domestic Violence.
The strength and courage that we heard in Leticia's story was enough to last a life time.  From a scared, rejected and lonely child, to an abused teenager, and finally a wife on the end of such violence, it's hard to imagine how anyone would be able to turn things around. Leticia did, and then some, she is happy, and free. Luke and Kyle discuss the episode.

Leticia was groomed by her would be husband at 14 years old, he was twice her age. As a child, she was rejected by her parents when they separated and had nowhere and no-one to turn to, so she was drawn towards the one man she thought loved her.  After a decade of physical and mental abuse and torture, his final act was to stab Leticia while she tried to make her escape. In this unbelievable, edge of your seat story, we hear how Leticia started a new life in England, and slowly took back control of her life, and her happiness!! The past does not need to define us.
