Well, That F*cked Me Up! Surviving Life Changing Events.

BITE-SIZE PERSONAL STORIES OF SURVIVING LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES: Hosted by Luke Colson and Kyle Wise, we feature weekly guests and explore extreme personal life changing experiences and the journey emotional and physical recovery. Each guest discusses their story of how their lives were turned upside down, by unexpected events. Stories like surviving a car crash, surviving abuse, being paralyzed in an accident, witnessing a crime.. and many more! Luke and Kyle will take an honest, raw, yet positive and hopeful approach, to really find out how these sudden events have effected our guests, and hear about the tools they use to overcome the subsequent struggle and adversity. We will focus on the journey to success and recovery, and hear stories of how our guests overcame trauma, and mental health challenges like ptsd, anxiety depression and phobias that have often lead to addiction, alcoholism, and disorders. While we will focus on the events themselves, and the lasting effects of these moments, our goal in this podcast is to concentrate on the positive journeys of resilience, recovery and hope that comes from these extraordinary stories. Join us for the ride of your life, and other peoples too! Why listen? We hope that our listeners will feel comfort, empowerment, strength and hope through this community of people and the stories we share.

This week's guest, Richard Wilmore, came from trauma with a Father that started battling cancer when Richard was in 2nd Grade. He remembers exactly what he was eating when he heard the news. Many years on, after a traumatic divorce, Richard finds himself helping to run Hearts Need Art, a nonprofit based in San Antonio, TX that hires local, professional creatives to provide arts engagement in hospitals to adult patients and their care teams. Richard was lost at the time he met the founder by chance, and he now lives a wonderfully full life, which really comes across in this heartfelt and tear-jerking episode. Hearts Need Art's mission is to provide moments of joy, self-expression, and connection to people facing life-altering health challenges through arts engagement, advocacy, and innovation. Their vision is the universal accessibility of arts engagement to help everyone feel seen, heard, and loved while facing life-altering health challenges. Thank you for really cheering us up today Richard. Bravo!
