## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with a WQW alum, a former U.S. Coast Guard officer, and the author of The Starfish Chronicles to explore her journey through service, storytelling, and healing.   She shares what drew her to the Coast Guard, the experiences that shaped her during years of federal service and deployment, and how those experiences eventually became part of her writing and advocacy. We also talk about her work amplifying women’s stories and how that intersects with her own path of recovery and meaning-making Learn more about Sue and preorder The Starfish Chronicles: https://www.suekerver.com/ Hosted on Acast.
