Brenda survived a propane explosion, when her new home blew up. Her story of dedication, resilience and faith shows us how we can better show up for ourselves; how to heal from the inside out. Brenda takes us along her journey of battling lifelong trauma, neglect and abuse, and provides for us all, the skills and information we need to better attend to our own lives in a compassionate way, and therefore be better citizens of the world.
