Life Is What You Make It - with Candice Mama

In this very special episode, Colin talks to the amazing Candice Mama, the survivor of one of the most traumatic ordeals imaginable, about the ways in which she found redemption and peace in its wake, and how she learned to prioritise her emotional wellbeing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Each and every human being has the potential to be incredible, and has the opportunity in life to truly change the world. In the wake of trauma or adversity, it is always worth taking a look within ourselves, and asking what we could have done differently. Always remember that we are part of a team. This means we must not just take support and guidance but offer it. Forgiveness is the act of taking back control of your own emotions, so that you can move on and have control over the life ahead of you.
