In this powerful episode of The Kidd and Friends Podcast, Christopher sits down with Susan Snow — speaker, survivor, and advocate — to talk about turning unimaginable tragedy into resilience.
At just 17 years old, Susan lost her father, LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams, to a senseless act of violence. That loss threw her into PTSD, grief, and a long battle with trauma. But Susan refused to let tragedy define her. Through vulnerability, forgiveness, and courage, she rebuilt her life — and now helps others find their own path to healing.
This is a heavy conversation, but also one filled with hope. Susan’s message reminds us all: even in the darkest moments, we can reclaim our story, grow stronger, and lead with purpose.
