Powerful testimony from a woman who lost 3 of her 4 children to a house fire and dying herself trying to save them only to come too and finding out they are gone. She dives into her survivors guilt and addiction which led to chaos in her personal life. After being featured on the TV show Intervention and completing recovery programs she gets kidnapped and raped for 3 days. This is a story of bravery, and to be honest one of the saddest stories I have came across. This podcast will aim to help anyone who experienced any of these traumas and let them know that they are not alone and that people like Dana got through it and now is helping others by helping in their recovery.
