Stepping Out of the Shadow of Tragedy with Liz Bailey

 Losing a parent has a devastating effect, and losing the parent to suicide can bring compounding grief and anger. On the show on Thursday, November 25, 2021, Liz Bailey, a solicitor living in London, joins Yuliana to discuss losing her father to suicide and how the work she put into dealing with it gave her the courage to step outside the shadow cast by this tragedy and forge a solid path to an inspiring life filled with purpose.
