1. Thank you for sharing your story. It was moving and very emotional and had me in tears at my desk while I’ll listened. I’m glad you are healing and your story can and will help so many people learn to heal that have also had terribly painful events occur in their lives.

4. Thank you Marcy (and Kevin) for bringing this story. I was in my personal dump today, as it is the anniversary of personal tragedy.. But hearing Marcy’s story was that reminder from the Universe that I needed to hear. Much love.

7. Thank you for sharing your story Marcy. And thank you for telling it so elegantly – it was tragic, poignant, triumphant, beautiful and above all, uniquely intimate. Godspeed.

8. Hi,
   I enjoyed the story. I just can’t quite understand how you revel in so much pain and become a bank director….It seems contradicting. Don’t you need a certain amount of peace of mind in order to follow a career? Thank you.

10. Thank you for sharing your story. It was truly deep and emotional. I also have been through many tragic and tough times that still keep getting worse throughout my life and will definitely never end. It is nice to hear that you have made peace with your tragedies and tough times and that I’m not the only one that has had everything go wrong at almost every turn in their life. I know mine will end once I pass on. All you can do is try to go on. Thank you

11. Thank you for sharing your story Marcy. Very powerful. I was also born with a cleft palate and lip, though mine is a double. So your experiences in dealing with it mirrors my own. I never got into addiction to cope, but have battled with insecurities my whole life. It seems like a never ending struggle, though my life is slowly taking a turn for the better. Your story, while focused on even darker issues than the cleft palate, gives me hope that maybe one day, I can do some healing of my own.

12. This was by far the most powerful and intense story I’ve heard told anywhere, ever. I thought I was mentally strong enough to hear anything, but I had to stop half way through because your descriptions were so visual and terrifying and nightmarish. I was so glad to hear that you overcame these things in the end. I fear that many people wouldn’t have survived the mental trauma (I don’t think I would have, to be honest). Thank you for sharing this with us, keep well and thanks to Kevin for his podcast. 🙂

14. This is heartbreaking and terrifying. The scary part is, this could happen to anyone. The telling of this story is so good.
