I love the word curious because I'll tell my kids all the time, or we do. If you are curious enough to where it's led you into a whole new life where you're helping so many people.
Imagine being on the cusp of a major career milestone, only to have your world turned upside down by a phone call. That’s exactly what happened to Lon Stroschein. On the night of his company's acquisition celebration, Lon received a call from his daughter, Grace, that no parent ever wants to get. Grace, a vibrant and active teenager, revealed she had been sexually assaulted at a high school party.
Despite being deeply involved in school activities and church, Grace had been silently battling immense pain and shame. Her parents, Lon and his wife, did everything they thought they should to address the situation, but the trauma lingered for Grace. Years later, struggling with suicidal thoughts, Grace finally found her path to healing through therapy, family support, and sheer determination. This episode of 'Fortitude' takes you through their raw and heartfelt journey.
Lon and Grace candidly discuss the complexities of trauma, the critical role of family communication, and the arduous yet rewarding road to recovery. Their story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar battles, proving that with love and perseverance, healing is possible.
