Two women living in different parts of the country, with different backgrounds and different upbringings. They were raised in a very different social economic environment. One has Italian heritage, the other Native American Indian. One has a edgy, hard lined exterior, intolerent of bullshit. The other has a soft, at times naïve persona, but very giving and very protective of those she loves.
Two women, best friends, confidants and defenders of those who have been wronged and do not have a voice.
This podcast is about the triumph over the tragedies' of life that these two women separately endured. It wasn't until they both were about to summit their own mountain, that they finally met. Their backgrounds have strangely intertwined the two of them. A common ground if you will. But the stories, as hard and as harsh as they are, never defined either one them. The women that they would ultimately become, is totally in spite of all they have been through.
Listen to their stories. Hear the agony, the despair, and the loss of hope. Then hear the joy of accomplishing what everyone told them was impossible.
You are never too old, never too different, never too hurt. Listen to this story of strength and courage. Truly awe inspiring.
