S3 E5: Alison Botha

Mourning Murders

Good Mournin' Beans! We find ourselves back at the Breakfast Nook this Monday with a case from Amanda! This is a case about a survivor! So, grab your mugs and settle in, this one is an incredible story of survival.

"Remind yourself that you do not have to take responsibility for what others do... Life is not a collection of that happens to you, but how you've responded to what has happened to you." - Alison Botha

Shout out to STOP THE BLEED. A wonderful program that both Brenna and Nicole (update since recording this one!) have been certified through.
