Show Notes

Donna Banks-Smith shares a sobering and honest conversation with host Erika Seamayer-Williamson about her personal struggle with crippling addictions. One surface, it appeared her primary vice was alcohol, but there was more...it was the empty social life and the pointless barhopping that added to her misery on "the morning after" each night out on the town.

Driven to redirect her own life, one day Donna made a resolute decision at the core of her soul.

She quit drinking. Cold turkey quit...But it still wasn't enough.

Donna shares how her life began to truly turn towards deeper significance when she allowed God through Jesus Christ to take over her affections and desires. This conversation is intensely personal as Donna reveals that her life remains troubled by a lack of peace.

This podcast shifts from an honest conversation to real-time counseling as Erika offers sound advice and serves as a safe sounding board for Donna's new budding faith in Jesus. Listeners will be inspired by Donna's courage and her open-book attitude toward finding God.

Donna also shares a new passion to be an advocate for the elderly who are manipulated and abused by the medical health care system and hospitals across America.
