Their Story
This is the story of two sisters, Jocelyn and Samantha.
Throughout their lives they have lived through multiple tragic events and lost so many people close to them. Some of the tragedies are very unique and some are things that a lot of people experience. This podcast is not for the faint at heart. They cover tragic accidents, abuse- both physical and mental, rape, incest, the death of children, parents and loved ones. Thoughts of suicide, marriage, divorce and rebuilding their lives. Some episodes can be triggering to some people, so please proceed with caution. They are making themselves and their guests vulnerable by discussing real life events with the hope that others who have similar stories can find the strength to move forward and heal. The days of not discussing your trauma because it makes people uncomfortable are over. Your mental health and well being is more important.
This podcast discusses their unbelievable life experiences, how they coped, how they moved forward, and how they became successful women after everything they have endured. They share their stories of trauma to let the world know that we are not alone. We all experience different dark parts of life and there is a light at the end of it all.
Letters are submitted from guests that have things that have been left unsaid. Jocelyn and Samantha read them at the end of every episode. They help release the energy that binds us to our trauma by allowing their listeners to share their story as well. Together they are hoping to give a voice to those who never had the chance to speak.
Jocelyn is a well known evidential Psychic Medium, Shaman, World Retreat Leader, and published author who spends her life helping people with trauma and grief. Her work has helped thousands of people all over the world. Samantha is a Chef, Yogi, Esthetician and beauty specialist that spends her life nurturing others.
