Today we discuss the power of personal passion and how it can be used as fuel to push past limitations and overcome tragic obstacles in life. Our first guest, Marie White, has lived through what many parents feel would be their worst nightmare, and that is the abduction of her child. She has taken her family's pain and turned it into a guidebook for others which includes the coping mechanisms that allowed her family to survive and thrive. Our second guest, Altovise Pelzer, took her tragic suffering through homelessness and molestation and used this to fuel her decision to motivate women and youth to find their unique voice. She takes women from abuse to applause by equipping them to define, accept, and use their own unique voice.
