Overcome - The Story of You

About Overcome - The Story of You

I created the Overcome podcast because there is so much light we don't see in life and in our trials. It seems that every time you turn on the TV, radio or social media you walk away thinking the world is over and you are alone. Being the parent of a daughter going through cancer during covid I know life can be tough. There were days I didn't know if I could make it through the hour, but I did and I learned many lessons along the way. This podcast is about changing your perspective, seeing the light and Overcoming. Together we will become stronger and find our purpose.
