Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

#7: Sara Kindvall - Overcoming the Aftermath - Survivorship story of alcoholism and domestic violence
Overcoming the Aftermath - Sara's survivorship story of alcoholism and domestic violence
An early October day in 2016, Sara's world was forever changed. It was a brutal attack by someone she once trusted. The actions by this person could have easily taken her life. She survived to tell her story, not only on this attack but the previous abuse she endured as well as her earlier life struggles with alcohol.
Since 2018, Sara Kindvall has been sharing her story of overcoming the aftermath of abuse. She launched "Sara Speaks" in 2020 to create awareness around domestic violence, to educate about healthy relationships and to empower others through her story of turning wounds into wisdom. She now helps others find their way through challenges as a coach. Currently working on her second life coaching certification, she strives to create a safe space for her clients to be heard and dig deep to allow their insight to speak through.
Sara's journey through sobriety and healing has shined a bright light on the focus to raise her two daughters with the knowledge of healthy relationships and to model the self-confidence she didn't discover until "mid-adulthood".
There will be a 'PART TWO' with Sara Kindvall.
Sara and I and a special guest will take a deeper dive into alcoholism and overall addictions - relationships, food, work...etc.!
