When Life Gives You Lemons
Welcome to the When Life Gives You Lemons podcast hosted by Sam Brinkman! In this personal and professional development podcast, we'll talk about the "lemons" life has given me and how I turned them into "lemonade." From childhood and religious trauma to mental illness and abusive relationships to failure and burn out, we'll discuss the ways that these "lemons" can lead to our growth as an individual and a leader. Let's make lemonade!

A wise person once posed the question, "Trauma often happens in relation to others, so why shouldn't healing?" And that person is Alex Mollon.
Alex is a survivor of sexual assault and an eating disorder. As a result of her trauma, she is no stranger to issues with body image and the pressures women feel to look and act a certain way. By healing in community, Alex is able to now live boldly and unapologetically while staying in tune with her body and her needs.
Tune in to hear our series kick off on empowering women to love their bodies and live authentically. Let's make lemonade!
