With a bit of prodding, Dr. Irwin told her story of molestation; how she went from being an opera singer, to stand-up comedian to psychologist and therapeutic hypnotherapist. We spoke quite a bit about her work with “Children of the Night“, and the “Rape and Incest National Network” before talking about her book, You Turn, Changing Direction in Midlife which contains over 40 Stories from People Over 40.

If people think that having a less-than-perfect childhood HAS to lead to a life of victimization, please, listen to this interview. If you think you life was bad ( I did, but eventually got over it ), pick up Sandy’s book, read it, then listen to our interviews again. Life is truly wonderful ~ if you choose it to be so. We did and I can’t wait to meet Sandy in person. You’ll hear the when and how of this during this interview. Read more on Sandy’s website: Pursuit of Light

Another fun interview. So fun, we’ve just GOT to do it again!

Sandy Brewer is an author, speaker, therapist, coach and humanitarian.

The abuse Sandy endured as a child was so horrific that many would not have survived it.

One would think after that last sentence this interview would be dark and a downer. Instead, there was more laughter than in many of my interviews. Sandy is a delight and I am so privileged to get to know her. Please, listen in.
