I’m back! Living the #nevergiveup philosophy

I’m back! Living the #nevergiveup philosophy

Hello all of you beautiful trauma-warriors and trauma-advocates!

As you are aware, as fans of the show, the last interview I posted was in December 2021. I had to leave our house quickly due to a health issue (of which I am not yet at liberty to discuss as our legal team has advised against it). However, I have now moved my recording equipment to a friend’s home and am happy to be back up and functioning as host, healer, writer, and trauma-warrior. I promise to share the details as soon as I am able to do so. As a trauma survivor, I am not a fan of keeping quiet about the truth. I have learned that sharing our truths is healing and liberating. And I so very much look forward to doing so with this story. As I believe it will help others heal and find resolution, as well.

I will be editing previously recorded episodes and sharing those at the normally slotted Fridays at 7:00 PM EST.

Thank you for your patience, prayers, and loving support as I travel this part of my healing journey!

In peace & gratitude,

Teri

“As a #1 Best-Selling Author, Poet, Speaker, Life Coach & Super Connector, making living itself an art, David Charles Brower spends his life searching for love and creating abundant sensorial experiences everywhere he goes, wherever and whomever he finds himself with.

As The Sensorial Guy, and inspired by his own romantic personality, he inspires others globally to connect to each other in meaningful ways, to find useful joy in the everyday, create moments of romance daily and find pleasure in the small details and nuances of life.

His former work experience was in world class international entertainment and cinema for over 20 years, which has also shaped his love for the creative process and people, and their stories, laying the foundation for his next adventure in love: writing his first short story. Dance of the Love Caterpillars is a romantic love story between two caterpillars that is aimed at romantics of all ages.

His work for the larger part of the last decade has been in developing his Sensorial Intelligence™ programs, events and lifestyle, and have been catalysts for the creation of this heartening story, Dance of the Love Caterpillars. This storytelling gem is a
universal romantic love story between two caterpillars, an inspiration to lovers and would-be romantics of all ages.

Bio:

Dynamic and talented, Paolina Milana brings us a unique story of resilience and growth. Her book, COMMITTED: A Memoir of Madness in the Family, (She Writes Press – May 2021) is a memoir that shows us what it’s like to grow up with a paranoid schizophrenia mother only to find out that your little sister shares a similar diagnosis of mental illness. A first generation Sicilian American, Paolina Milana had to play caretaker, secret keeper, and maintain a “normal” life while voices in her head worried her about her own sanity. In this beautifully written page-turner, Milana inspires us with her triumphs and resiliency and offers solace to anyone burdened with the role of caretaker to any family member with health issues.
