#115: Your Past Does Not Define Your Future with Tawnya
LISTEN NOW
May is National Foster Care Month!
Today I am in conversation with Tawnya Robertson. Tawnya is a devoted and loving Christian, wife, mother, and Social Worker. We all have pivotal moments that shape the trajectory of our lives. Tawnya is vulnerable with us in sharing the trauma and hardships she faced as a child. However, she also tells us how those experiences led her to become a Social Worker to support families who are going through similar struggles. Tawnya declares to us today that our past does not have to define our future, and I hope this episode encourages you to believe that for yourself as well.

● Career as a social worker
