Finding Hope and Her Voice After Loss with Vanessa Abraham

  1. Finding Hope and Her Voice After Loss with Vanessa Abraham Mai Ling Chan & James Berges 33:41

We’re kicking off the new year with Speech-Language Pathologist, Vanessa Abraham, as our first guest. After Mai Ling and James catch us up with some updates after our short break, Mai Ling sits down with Vanessa to chat about her very personal experience of losing the ability to speak and her journey to regain it. Vanessa shares details about this traumatic experience in this vulnerable conversation and her desire to use that experience to help others who can benefit from what she learned from it. Her full story is chronicled in her book, Speechless, and she talks about the process of writing the book as well.
