In this week’s Safe Home Podcast, Beth talks with Sue Bowles, an Ohio-based master certified life coach, memoirist, and public speaker focusing on the topics of disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and sexual assault survival and recovery. Her company is called My Step Ahead, whose motto is “you only have to be a step ahead to help the person behind you.” That is certainly how we operate at Safe Home, too.
