Hey there! Thanks so much for joining me today on the Shalene show. How are you?

How's your week going? Hopefully, it is drama-free. Hopefully, you're in the mood for a little inspiration

because that's what we have in store for you.

Today, my guest is going to share what it means to be resilient, what it means to take your power back

and to survive, not just survive, but just to be a champion to overcome your past.

She survived a childhood probably much like some of yours that was filled with abandonment and abuse and neglect

and just a lot of scary chaos.

The pain of her past led to failed relationships, a battle with eating disorders, anxiety, depression,

and a lot of hiding, like hiding from the world, who she really was and what it was she had been through.

Like, she built this life that became a facade so that no one would ever know about the pain of her past.

And today, she shares with us what it is done for her to come clean, to deal with the demons of her past,

to embrace her past and to move past it and to find her voice and to be a safe place for other people,

what it means to get through grief and to find a way to use her faith to propel her forward and help others.

This is a story about resilience.

Today, my guest is Tana Aiman, the author of the new book, The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child,

How Persistence, Grit, and Faith Created a Reluctant Healer.

You might recognize Tana's voice or her name because you've probably seen her on countless PBS specials with her husband,

Dr. Daniel Aiman, a friend and regular contributor to the Shaline show.

Together, they have four children, they have five grandchildren,

and Tana is just, she's a remarkable human being, just so relatable, life is you're gonna love her,

she's just a girl's girl, and she's honest and she's real and she's really smart, and her story is remarkable.

Not only is she the vice president of the Aiman Clinks, but she's written 10 books.
