Dave Lavery – Held Captive by the Taliban Pt.2 | Luma & Bloom w Nic and Kate Ep. 48

from Luma & Bloom · host Nic and Kate

In the second part of our conversation with Dave Lavery, the Canadian humanitarian and military veteran known as "Canadian Dave," we delve deeper into his remarkable journey of survival during his 77-day captivity by the Taliban. Dave shares intimate details of his daily life in captivity, from the food he was given to his sleeping arrangements, and the interactions he had with fellow detainees. His story is a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the importance of cherishing every moment in life.Send us a Text!Support the showMake sure to connect with us on social media!-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumaandbloomofficial/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lumaandbloomofficial-TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZegTo learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:https://joysmithfoundation.com/Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-BarnesThank you so much for listening!✨ Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on Luma and Bloom are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.
