Karen Anne Coccioli is an author who talks with Kim about her past which was filled with challenges and her coming out later in life and so much more. This delightful lady wants everyone to be brave by sharing their own story and finding that spark of hope that keeps you going.
Trigger warning-the discussion does involve abuse and attempted suicide.
To learn more about what Karen calls her bumpy story, you can check out her hybrid memoir called Paradise on Amazon at this LINK.
