Ep. 26 Kevin Barhydt: The author of the book “Dear Stephen Michael's Mother”

My guest, Kevin Barhydt is the author of “Dear Stephen Micheal’s Mother” and the host of an  educative youtube channel. His wisdom is astounding. The depth of his vulnerability and authenticity truly inspired me. Kevin shares how he pivoted out of fear into faith by building a foundation of courage.

** Please note that this episode mentions sexual assault, abuse, and addiction but doesn't go into detail.
