Mary Kaye Holmes has been called the 'Comeback Queen". Molested, pregnant at 14, human trafficked, raped, incarcerated, beaten and feeling like she just 'sucked at life' - she survived and taps into that experience to help others through their toughest times. The international best selling author and award winning motivational speaker talks with Nina about her darkest moments, her 5 suicide attempts, and how thankful she is they were not successful. She also shares her connection to the movie Castaway, gets tongue tied on the word 'porta-potty' and drops some knowledge about outliving labels. You are gonna like her post-it-note analogy. Make sure you get to the 14 minute mark to hear her valuable message.
