Surviving and Thriving: Girl Talk
Welcome to Surviving and Thriving: Girl Talk
Jess and Rox will be using their shared experience of trauma and their ability to survive to bring you relatable content, challenging stories, and hopefully some guidance, support and inspiration to uplift you and let you know that everything will be ok.
We know how isolating it can be to feel like the only one going through something, so join us and our guests for unfiltered, meaningful conversations where hopefully you can be signposted or be given some advice to help improve your situation.
