Sean and Andrea really opened up to us in this episode about their individual and shared stories of trauma, childhood abuse, alcoholism, trials and triumphs together. They were very open and vulnerable in telling their story (as explained in even more depth in their book). Andrea had her own tumultuous childhood, and Sean comes from a very successful background in music from the band Great Big Sea where his riotous lifestyle was enabled and made to flourish. He shares his story in which he kept a dark childhood secret until a momentous day in 2014 when he was finally able to lift his own burden by sharing it for the first time. They stuck together and seem like they are very close. Writing this incredibly deep and poignant book together is another testament of that! Check it out here!

In this episode, we talked about how little things make all the difference.

We talk about a few real world stories of people helping each other and the deep impact that has had in otherwise small events. This applies in our day-to-day choices and the habits we create based on the real outcomes we want. Enjoy!
