Welcome
Like many of you, I have looked at the devastating effects of severe trauma and had to ask “Do I let the dark swallow me whole and destroy me or do I hold on to the light and find a way to move forward?” Build on the Light is about how to find and own the good in our lives in spite of the trauma we've endured. We can find light and hope and ultimately thrive in the life that is uniquely our own.

Survivor Shift: Episode 8
Danielle Morelli shares how she learned to own the truth that each of us deserves life, dignity, and a chance at hope and love.
Fighting Depression
Depression is real and affects people of all walks of life. There is hope and help. In fighting depression, we cannot control how the enemy will fight, but we can choose to stand our ground.
Focus Forward: You Deserve Life
How do we focus forward when we are struggling against burdens that would bury us in a pit of hopeless despair? How do we hold onto the belief that we truly deserve life?
So often, the trauma of abuse robs us of the dignity, hope, and love we both desire and deserve. Focusing forward as we work through our trauma can help us reclaim what was lost. The truth is that regardless of the burdens we carry, we are worth the effort to move forward.
Last year my friend, Danielle Morelli, shared this powerful truth: “You deserve life. You deserve dignity. You deserve a chance at hope and love.” Survivor Shift Episode 6
