A place where survivors tell their stories and bring hope to those in crisis.
Welcome to speakbravely.com’s podcast series where we interview survivors. Their stories offer lifelines to those who are in the throes of depression, anxiety, addiction, a failed marriage, death of a loved one, or any other painful, frightening life experience. Through their journeys, we are able to see ourselves and begin to heal. Here we learn that healing is a collective struggle, that we need each other.
We hope you enjoy sharing this healing adventure with us as, bravely, we surge forward.
Hi, I’m Shawni McBride, founder of speakbravely.com, a website where people of all walks of life share their survival stories. I’m an English teacher, wife, mother, and anxiety survivor. In this podcast series, I talk to people about how they’ve survived the seemingly most impossible hardships. In their resilience, in their survival, we find hope.
Speakbravely.com’s mission is to give survivors a space to share their story. While our platform asks that our guests speak the truth, it’s not our place to question a guest’s interpretation of an experience; it’s understood that a guest’s testimony is theirs alone, and that other individuals who are part of the story may have their own versions. Speakbravely.com does not intend to investigate such stories; we are simply a space for survivors to share their experiences from their points of view. We do, however, screen our guests and make an intentional effort to feature authentic individuals.
