The journey to healing is as unique as our own fingerprints, and today, we're joined by Lois Wagner, a beacon of resilience and hope from South Africa. With a laugh that resonates with triumph, Lois shares her profound transformation from a survivor of a vicious attack to a guiding light for those lost in the shadows of their traumas. As she unfolds her story, we're reminded of the incredible strength we all possess and the liberating power of forgiveness. Her candid conversation about her book "Walking Without Skin" and the life-affirming SMILE acronym not only uplifts but provides practical steps towards reclaiming one's life from the clutches of past pain.

Amidst our heartfelt discourse, Lois emphasizes the necessity to untangle our emotions from the events that once ensnared them, offering a chance to reshape our reactions and release ourselves from the bonds of yesteryears. Her insight into the mind-body connection and the significance of addressing our deepest emotional wounds before they manifest physically is both enlightening and empowering. This episode is a call to those yearning to break free and heal, to reach out as Lois did, and begin a journey that promises strength, freedom, and a smile that once seemed impossible to find.
