From Dark to Light: The story that started it all | Episode 1

In this powerful debut episode of From Dark to Light, host Julie Crawford opens up about the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of her mother, Maureen, who endured unthinkable loss, from childhood abuse to losing her leg and first child at just 17. Through her story, Julie shares how those experiences shaped her own purpose: to shine light on resilience, healing, and the human spirit's power to keep going, no matter how dark life gets.

In this conversation with her son, Nicholas, Julie reflects on generational strength, empathy, and what it means to rise again after devastation. Listeners will discover how pain can become purpose, how connection heals shame, and how taking one small step toward light can transform everything.
