We take a deep look into resiliency in the human spirit! The definition of Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. This one word captures truth, lessons, forgiveness, sadness and joy for my dear sister, Jennie Willoughby.

Her journey is one of growth, courage, healing, and RESILIENCE through parenting herself as a child, domestic abuse and emotional trauma in marriage. . . Jennie truly is the Pull of Grace!

Get in Touch: IG: @warrierstrategy www.vidyawarrier.com About Vidya: Vidya Ramachandran is a strategist, creative, storyteller and the founder of Warrier Strategy, LLC. Armed with only knowing that she didn't want to be a doctor when she grew up, Vidya spent decades trying to find a career that she thought was the 'right' one, collecting degrees & hopping from science to finance to marketing before realizing that she was holding herself back by conforming to (implicit) cultural norms. She's spent the past five years breaking through those cultural career expectations and leveraging her professional and personal experiences to support women who wish to push beyond what's expected and find a career they love.

It is time to shine some light into the darkness of depression and bring awareness to this often hidden mental illness. Depression is far too common in today's world and I am grateful to have this conversation with Cory Strathman around how he overcame the depths of darkness. You will hear one man's truth around re-connecting to self, God, and clarity of his mission with Grace in Your Corner. The time is NOW to raise awareness of yourSELF and those around you. Please know, that you are NOT ALONE in this - I hope you gain some light and courage through this story. *** In today's tech world there are so many ways to ask for help or guidance. As mentioned in the video, one source to find a local therapist/psychologist near you is: www.psychologytoday.com (many offer sessions via video online or phone call) *** About Cory: From a young, successful principal at the age of 28 to an unemployed 34 year old, I've experienced it all. I am determined to bring attention to how to handle life's challenges after mine came halting to a stop in January 2019. I am a son, husband, father of 2 boys, but most of all I was lost. Depression led to alcohol abuse, a DUI, resignation from my job, and deep soul searching. It was time to surrender to God and let him guide me. With a multi-tiered plan of supports, I have found a clear path to redemption. If my words reach just one person, then my time is well spent. Remember you are not alone. We will break down the social stigmas in life and encourage everyone to speak up.Together, people will see asking for help is not a weakness, but the biggest strength of all!
