Stephanie Olson brings a lifetime of professional and personal experience to every conversation on Resilience and Relationships (R&R). As a speaker, author, and the CEO of The Set Me Free Project, her expertise in resiliency, addiction, and sexual violence forms a foundation of deep understanding, but the discussions here are for anyone navigating modern life. You’ll hear Stephanie alongside her project’s staff and a variety of guests, creating a space that feels more like a candid kitchen-table talk than a formal interview. They tackle the weighty topics-from trauma and healing to the realities of human trafficking-without shying away from their complexity, yet they always manage to weave in genuine hope and even moments of relatable humor. This podcast is particularly vital for parents trying to guide kids through a tech-saturated world and for anyone working with youth, but its core themes resonate universally. It’s about the practical, often messy work of building healthy connections and personal strength. Each episode digs into that hard stuff, offering not just theory but tangible perspectives for moving forward. If you’re looking for authentic dialogue that balances sober truth with a sense of possibility, this is where you’ll find it.
