Healing Connection
This is a podcast about helping those who feel stuck. This podcast include Veterans, First Responders, Caregivers, Spouses and anyone else who may take care of one of these individuals. I want to give hope out there and let people know that they are not alone in their journey. I have topics that are deep, funny, light and just down right information on how they can get the help they they need. I will try my best to guide those but it will have to be up to those who want the help to get the help.
