​Warriors in Hope’s mission is to empower women dealing with the fallout from the impact of addiction in the family and other of life’s unexpected adversities. We understand the Beasts of shame, guilt, grief, fear, and other resulting stress that can arise from life’s traumas. We are here to equip women as they reclaim their lives, providing them with the tools and resources through free and paid courses and other benefits that give them the knowledge and tools to rise above their challenges. Valerie's story is one of unimaginable tragedy and inspiring strength. She got the knock on the door every parent dreads. Her daughter had been murdered. Jamie suffered the same injury 12 years before when she was eighteen. While Valerie was painfully aware that Jamie was struggling with addiction and a dangerous lifestyle, she never imagined it coming to this. But instead of succumbing to despair, Valerie asked herself the most powerful question: "What now?" In her journey through grief, Valerie discovered that courage is not reserved for superheroes or larger-than-life figures. It is a quality that resides within us. Determined to turn her pain into purpose, Valerie created a blueprint for resilience and hope. Today, with unbreakable courage, Valerie inspires others who are facing their battles. She has become an award-winning author, leader, and speaker. She developed a unique system called the 9 Weapons of Hope®, which provides practical tools and strategies for navigating adversity. Her powerful storytelling and vulnerable courage allow others to seek solace even when hope seems like the impossible. Her tools, education, events, and content enable others to discover themselves, reinvent themselves, and allow themselves to find the life they were meant to lead. These episodes will inspire and motivate you to take a step forward. The powerful individual insights and discussions with guests, will empower you to step up and become a Warrior in Hope.
