Flourish
Healing can be a challenging and lonely journey at times, and there is nothing more inspiring then hearing other’s healing stories to encourage, and most importantly…give HOPE. Flourish is really about hope, hope that there a way that you can heal yourself, your family, your children, your parents, even your friends. In this show you will hear everyday people share their story and experience with healing, some using the GAPS protocol, and some healing with other modalities. You will hear stories covering a whole range of issues, with different challenges and triumphs, plus pearls of wisdom for those embarking on a similar journey. There is something to gain from every episode, and if you are working through a specific issue you can scroll through and read the titles to see which episodes are most relevant to you.
