In this heartfelt and humor-filled episode of SoundBits, Kim Groshek sits down with author, healer, and transformational coach Sue Wilhite to explore the deeper meanings behind childhood rebellion, perfectionism, and personal transformation. From childhood runaway adventures to adult moments of self-reflection, Kim and Sue dive into the unspoken motivations that shape our decisions, our relationships, and how we show up in the world. What starts as a conversation about secrets and running away turns into a compelling discussion about growth, grace, and embracing the beautiful messiness of life.
