TDE63- From Pain to Purpose - Let's Talk Local

Pain is something we all face—but how we respond to it is what shapes our story.
In this episode of Let’s Talk Local, Sarah sits down with two incredible women who turned their hardest seasons into a powerful purpose.
Julia Hoffman walked through the challenges of divorce and, out of her own healing, founded Hoffman Collaborative Therapy to guide families through similar struggles.
Our producer, Shanon, faced the unimaginable loss of her nephew, Ethan, to drowning. Determined to honor his memory, she became a certified ISR Instructor to help protect other families from the same heartbreak.
Their stories are proof that even when life feels unbearable, resilience and hope are possible. We hope their journeys inspire you to discover your own light at the end of the tunnel.
