Scott DeLuzio: [00:00:00] You’re back home, but it doesn’t feel like home. The sleepless nights, the hypervigilance, the memories. You can’t escape. It’s like the war followed you back.

Bee walked through the fire facing trauma, alcohol abuse, and the frustration of feeling unheard. But she found her way to healing using unconventional methods that transformed her life.

And today she’s sharing how alternative modalities like acupuncture, breath work, and even astrology, became the tools that helped her reclaim her life.
