Life Struggles
by Christy Collier
With a degree in psychology and certification in Life Coaching, Christy thought she was going to save people from "all the things." After years of waiting for people to walk through the door, she realized how much people don't want to come forward and ask for help. Of course not all people. But many people. This is why she thought if she could just share people's stories and struggles and give advice from professionals, that she could still help people without them having to come inside an office. Inside these stories, will be laughing, crying and healing. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifestruggles/support
