The Hope-Makers: Finding Light in Life's Darkest Moments

When life knocks you down, how do you find the strength to rise again? The Hopemakers Podcast brings you extraordinary stories from ordinary people who've discovered hope in the most challenging circumstances imaginable.

Join psychologist and coach Dr Erica Bowen as she sits down with inspiring individuals who've transformed their deepest struggles into powerful sources of hope. From sexual assault survivors who rebuilt their lives, to caregivers who found balance while supporting loved ones with terminal illness, to parents navigating the complexities of special needs – each episode reveals the raw, honest journey from despair to possibility.


What makes The Hope-Makers unique is its blend of personal storytelling, practical wisdom, and actionable strategies. You'll hear from a former lawyer who overcame burnout to help others find serenity, an autism advocate who conquered years of bullying through physical transformation, and a mother who turned the loss of her teenage daughter into a mission of healing others. These aren't just success stories – they're roadmaps for anyone seeking hope in their own life.


Each conversation uncovers specific techniques guests used to rebuild their lives: from morning writing practices and mindfulness techniques to radical self-acceptance and community building. Whether you're facing personal crisis, supporting someone through difficult times, or simply seeking inspiration for life's everyday challenges, The Hope-Makers offers both comfort and concrete tools for creating hope.


Hope isn't just an emotion – it's a skill that can be learned, practiced, and shared. Through intimate conversations that balance vulnerability with practical guidance, The Hope-Makers Podcast proves that no matter how dark the night, dawn is always possible.
