About this listen
It’s not what happens to you in life, it’s who you become because of it.
We all experience pain, grief, and loss in life. Resilience is the difference between “I didn’t die” and “I learned to live again”.
In this captivating audiobook on resilience, Ria walks you through her own horrific story of more than seven years of sexual abuse by her father. She then shares how she learned not only to survive, but also to thrive in spite of her past.
Learn how to overcome challenges, obstacles, and adversity in your own life by building a bridge out of the past and into the future.
