The author of “Where Hope Lies” is no stranger to strife. Battling an eating disorder for the last fifteen years, surviving an abusive relationship and nearly losing her brother to a motorbike accident — Hope has had quite a bit of life experience.

And it is because of these struggles, not in spite of them, that she is at this magical place in her life, continuing to carve out a meaningful existence. She is using her voice and her story to heal herself.

Catch the convo between Hope and our founder Marla on this episode of Mind of a Mentor.
