91. R U Okay?

How do you reach out to a friend who is struggling?It takes just ONE person to make a difference.  ONE person to connect, understand, offer kindness, care and love.When Amanda was 16 she was already at rock bottom. She had grown up in a home where she was abandoned by her mother and physically abused by her step-father. She had been suicidal and self-harming. She was taking drugs and alcohol and had run away from home. In this quick chat I am hearing how a kid who was totally lost, abandoned and alone, turned her life around through the kindness of ONE person.  You can find Amanda on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kickasswithbothfeet/ and facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheRealAmandaGoldIf you have a story to share for this podcast please connect with me at www.instagram.com/mybigloveproject or send an email to [email protected].  I would LOVE! to connect with you.
