Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2333

Tonight's special guest is Sheila M Stevenson from London, Ontario, a survivor of more than 15 years of abuse of every type. Sheila's now a Certified Life Coach and says, "Most of us desire to live happy lives and enjoy satisfying relationships. This is the happy space I live in today. But, it wasn't always so." She goes on, "I grew up in a highly dysfunctional family where I was abused by both of my parents." Despite it all she survived. "And, thankfully," she says, "I learned a lot of useful and wonderful lessons along the way. In fact, all that history and all those lessons now equip me to serve others." But it didn't happen quickly. "It feels like I've been riding on a slow train," Sheila says, "picking up speed as my healing progressed. I was blessed with a wonderful therapist many years ago, and I credit her with actually saving my life, because I was despondent by the time I found her. Finally, I was able to ‘tell my story', or as I call it, ‘download the poison'. Many years later I heard about something called Life Coaching." After meeting several life coaches in her area, Sheila decided to hire a woman with some actual life experience. "We worked together off and on for about a year. I was amazed by the process, and with the results I achieved. From that time, my life took on a whole new and refreshingly positive direction." Sheila concludes, "Today, I am a happy and powerful individual who has not only learned many valuable lessons, but who has chosen to do something special with all that I've learned. Now I help others achieve the life they dream of living. After all," she says, "everyone deserves happiness."
