Episode 684: You. Are. Not. Alone. with Kelley Gunter

Kelly is a survivor, an emotional warrior, connoisseur of comfort food, and the author of You Have Such a Pretty Face. Her painful journey to find peace and self-worth began with a 243-pound weight loss that included many dark moments of despair that eventually brought her to her knees. Broken and devastated in the aftermath of her own self-destruction, her fractured faith screamed out that somehow, she still had a faint pulse and her shattered heart was, in fact, still beating.<br /><br />Following a lengthy career in social services, Kelly began writing full time. Her first book, You Have Such a Pretty Face, is a memoir detailing the emotional journey of being obese and the surprising changes brought on by her 243-pound weight loss following bariatric surgery, as well as the emotional factors that contributed to her initial weight gain.<b> <br /><br /><br />In This Episode</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://kelleygunter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelly’s website</a></li><li><a href="https://kelleygunter.com/books/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelly’s books</a></li></ul>This episode is sponsored by <b>BetterHelp.</b> <br />Give online therapy a try at <a href="http://betterhelp.com/TRAUMA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betterhelp.com/TRAUMA</a> and get on your way to being your best self.<br /><br /><b>The Trauma Membership</b> is coming.
