Back Through the Fire with Sue Bowles

Send us a text

“She was the first person from her family to go to college and graduate, but this young girl was broken early after being assaulted as a child. Traumatized, on that innocent but unimaginable day in first grade, her brain was forever changed. As a result, she grew up insecure and struggling for identity, finding her value by getting involved and being seen. Her road was long. But through the fire of “odd eating disorders,” depression, and “suicidal tendencies” she was finally able to dig her brain, one load at a time, out of the “icebox.” This is Sue Bowles story. She’s a hope coach, a survivor, and a thriving and God filled F50Woman.”
