SLP350 - From Personal Tragedy to Published Bestseller : An Interview with Rebecca Vijay

The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

Epic failures in life, although they create pain and difficulty for a season, can be the cornerstones of a life of influence and success.

There is a calling fulfilled by taking something which may have devastated you or your family, a personal failure or loss, an insurmountable tragedy, and using that as a baseline for helping others who may be going through something similar.

Many of you have heard my story.

I saw the vast need in the world: countless others who had been abused, raped, tormented by guilt, entangled with emotional connections they could not seem to shake.

Tens of thousands have found hope and freedom as a result of me sharing my story, and publishing a book which became accessible around the world.

This is also the case of my special guest today!
