In the sixteenth episode of Fireside Stories, we welcome Danielle Joworski, who will talk to us about how she learned to believe in and trust herself. "The harder I worked, the harder things became. A pause created my greater failures that have become my biggest successes today. Once I believed in myself and embraced vulnerability to be seen for who I am, I'm able to help other women to stop working harder, create their biggest successes, and become visible to themselves and those they want to be seen by." - Danielle Follow and Connect with Danielle Email: [email protected] www.daniellejoworski.com/ Instagram: @danielleajoworski FB page: @daniellejoworski

Krystal Snider has and is one of those people helping those after the trauma.

After speaking with many people, I have realized that many of us have experienced trauma in our early lives and often have to make the conscious decision to work through them and find growth. Today, our guest, Rhiannon Barry, knows all about this experience and has had to fight her way back from the grips of trauma. In the eleventh episode of Fireside Stories, Rhiannon will be chatting with us about challenging times. For her, studying Psychology during the Pandemic has presented challenges and drummed up unhealed wounds. Over the years, she has had to tackle many traumas head-on; childhood poverty and homelessness, family dynamics, personality development and attachment issues. While completing her studies, Rhiannon has been forced to wade through her own personal trauma and write through the tears. It's been a period of eminence growth and life path realizations.
