The Strength of Us
Hi, I’m Lisa and I am inviting you to The Strength of Us podcast where you will hear the stories of incredible strength from a diversity of guests who remind us that we are not alone. We discuss parenting, divorce, mental health, disability, LGBT issues and more. As a teacher, my guests and I aim to educate our listeners on topics like flesh eating bacteria, living with a disability, the experience of psychosis and how to avoid dating a narcissist. We also interview people who are making a real difference in their communities & why they started their charities. Join us because together we build the strength of us.
