Have you ever found yourself belonging to a club you didn't sign up for?
Maybe a circumstance only happened to you but somehow along the way you keep finding people who share a similar experience.
In learning that Stephanie wasn't the only woman in her late boyfriend's life, she suddenly found herself a lifetime member of a strange club. A sisterhood of women who, though they had never met, were forever bound together by the colliding stories of his infidelities.
As Stephanie walked the long road forward, Track 6, Strange Club, became a representation of a turning point in her healing.
On today's episode, she'll share about the impact of owning the reality of her circumstance and how telling her truth has brought her even more freedom than she could have imagined.
Tune in to hear:
How the electric guitar line reflects the theme of the song
The camaraderie she has found in this strange little club
How healing can come through humor
Why the best way to tell her story was through music
Though we may not have a choice in what life throws our way, we will always have a choice in what we choose to do with what happens to us. Because at one point or another, there is a good chance we'll all be members of some type of strange club.
Quotes from the episode:
It's all a choice in what we choose to do with what happens to us.
Grasping reality allows you to sometimes find this weird level of healing through humor and there's a different level of strength that comes from that. When you can laugh about it you own it.
Whatever you have gone through doesn't have to define you.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
