Transformative And Empowering Life Lessons

— "Shame is a liar but it's good at its job." Pam Rader didn't just crave freedom… her survival depended on it. Having escaped at knifepoint from her violent alcoholic husband, she desperately sought a new beginning for her infant son. But after a string of failed relationships and marriages, her worst nightmare unfolded before her eyes as her beloved boy developed an out-of-control heroin addiction. In her deeply personal and touching story, Pam Rader recounts her struggle for independence and acceptance during the most turbulent time of her life. And through the power of yoga and self-reinvention, this mother's discovery of compassion will comfort anyone all too close to the horror of destructive behavior. Her book, "Through the Cracks" is an inspirational memoir that will shine light at the end of any dark and treacherous tunnel.  Valeria Teles interviews Pam Rader  — the author of "Through The Cracks : A Gripping Tale Of Abuse, Addiction And Rising Above A Legacy Of Shame." Pam Rader is also the owner of Shift Power Yoga, the founder and CEO of Shift Coaching and Leadership (a division of Shift Labs), Speaker, Podcast host, and Life Coach.  Pam's primary purpose in each of her endeavors is to help individuals and organizations discover the power they have to totally transform their lives, experiences and businesses at any moment. She continues to expand her work with the vision of positively and powerfully impacting as many lives as possible.To learn more about Pam Rader and her work, please visit: Pamrader.com and Shiftlabs.ca     — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health.
