Wounded Healers: Champions for Change

The pain of the past can be debilitating, but there are some who are able to face their past trauma and use the lessons they have learned in resiliency to help others. These special people are known as Wounded Healers.
This week’s show invites three inspirational past guests back to share their unique stories of overcoming extreme hardships, and how they learned to heal through the process of helping others. Each of these Wounded Healers sheds light on how transforming past pain into a catalyst for supporting others gave them purpose and has helped them achieve mental well-being.

Mona Makki is a survivor of domestic abuse and spent years questioning why she and her children were made to suffer such horrors. Now, as an advocate for others escaping domestic violence, she has discovered inner peace.

Marsaille Arbuckle was only a toddler when his parents abandoned him. Yet, he has used his experience of growing up in foster care as the base for establishing a support network for other foster youth who are finding their way in the world.

As a young adult, Jeff Hawkins struggled to accept his vision loss and rebelled against its limitations. Then he discovered the powerful positive effects of using his own hardships to help others.
We are grateful and honored to have these three remarkable wounded healers join us this Sunday.
