Chaos Queens
by Shannon Bally
I believe that everyone's life contains an interesting story worth sharing, and I love hearing real people share their tales of love, life and loss. I also believe that there is power in telling your story and that by sharing your triumphs you can empower others through their own struggles. Each time you've conquered the trials and tribulations of your life, you became stronger and I'm here to encourage you to share that strength with the world.This podcast isn't about me, and it's not about trying to hate on the world for the stuff we all go through. It's an opportunity to share that we are all unique, but we are almost all going through some crazy stuff!These are the stories of chaos, the stories of our lives that have built us into the Queens we are.This is Chaos Queens.
