SHUT UP and Smile!
“SHUT UP and Smile!” is a powerful and compassionate podcast dedicated to shedding light on the tough and silent issues of abuse.
Join me, Nancy Kohne, along with my co-hosts my daughter Keery and good friend Lisa as we openly and honestly share our own personal stories of abuse and be inspired by our journey toward healing.
Hang with us as we find humor in our past, rebuild our lives, discover relationships built on empowerment, and show you that there is always hope for a brighter future!
Grab a tissue, but be prepared to laugh along the way.
We see you and we invite you to join our tribe!
