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. Everyone’s experiences are unique, but the circumstances around recovery and healing can be a shared and comforting journey.

Lauren is a disabled wife & mom living with chronic pain, depression, and paralyzing anxiety and PTSD due to multiple forms of assault and abuse. In 2017 Lauren had to stop working due to debilitating spinal pain. For the next two years, She was in a deep depression. But one day, after looking at her then 5 year old daughter, she started to come out of the darkness. Using a mix of intentional daily gratitude, and realizing God could take my broken life and make something beautiful out of it, she started to heal the mental scars, although the physical pain remains, for now. Last year, Lauren started a podcast & blog as ways for her to put good into the world & encourage others with chronic pain, mental health issues, or previous trauma. Thank you Lauren for a wonderful episode!
