Summary
Join Leslie Gaudet and Samantha Gibson, trauma-informed leadership consultant, Certified Trauma Recovery Specialist, author, and founder of Brave Strategy Co., for an honest and deeply moving conversation about what it truly takes to protect your mental and emotional peace when life has asked more of you than most people will ever understand.
