Hello and welcome to the whatmakesyoutic podcast - A podcast where strangers get a chance to share their life stories. It turns out everyone has had some form of adversity to overcome throughout their lives and it is only through overcoming those tough times that we found out who we really are. My wish is that you, the listener, will gain some inspiration from this and if you are struggling, know that there is hope, no matter what life throws at you.
