Trigger warning: In this episode we are talking about mental health issues, war, child abduction and post traumatic stress.
This episode I am honoured to welcome the incredible Grace Arach, who is a former child soldier, and survivor, as well as the founder of Bedo Ki Gen.
I met grace through World Vision Australia when she was speaking about her experience and I wanted to hear her share her story, because Grace is an example of how to share with vulnerability, but also still protect yourself while sharing your mission and the impact you're meant to have on the world. I am so in awe of the way that she has taken her experience, and is able to convert it into a story and share that repeatedly to raise awareness for her NGO and other survivors.
Sometimes talking about our own story can be challenging and confronting, but once you've heard Grace's story, it's really going to inspire you to share your own. Not to compare, but to see that you can be vulnerable! You can have experiences and challenges, and you can go on to do something incredible.
This is Grace's story and she shares it with Grace. It's the most perfect name for this woman.
