Interview was done September 14, 2023!

I love meeting new people willing to share their “lemon to lemonade” experience!

This story is about Colene who as a little girl experienced almost every form of abuse imaginable. She spent her 16th birthday in a group home before starting her sophomore year of high school in foster care. After her second abusive marriage nearly ended her life, she fled to a domestic violence shelter with her 5 kids. Colene's journey to freedom includes many facets of counseling, safety planning, pattern changing classes, self help books, bible school, mentoring, public speaking, working with victims, abusers and a ton of baby steps. Now she mentors victims coming out of abusive relationships and sexual assault. What message do you get from this interview?

ABOUT the LemonAid Stand: Heidi started hosting the LemonAid Stand live radio talk show, over 20 years ago, in 1999! It all came about when Heidi was dealing with thoughts of suicide, inadequacy, and dealing with infertility. She realized as she reached out to others and heard their stories, she would be uplifted and inspired no matter what she was going through. So this podcast has old "Original" shows from that time period. It also has "New" shows that are currently being recorded with new guests. And it has "Update" shows where Heidi reached out to original radio show guests to find out how the past 20 years have been! Theme song written and recorded by Heidi’s baby brother Shane!

Heidi is a motivational speaker and would love to speak at your event about how to elevate your happiness!
