Title: S4EP6, After Years of Self-Hate and Shame with Jill Amy Sager

Summary:
After years of suffering and being ashamed of herself, Jill Amy Sager now fully loves herself and finds joy every day. In her book, "Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges," Jill shares how she transformed her life.

Born with a disability of having different-sized legs, it was made drastically worse at age 9 through an unsuccessful surgery. Jill went through life feeling different, ashamed and not realizing things could be different.

She discovered Tarot Card reading in her late teens which opened her up to hearing divine guidance. Slowly, Jill did the work to transform her own life. She tuned in to her intuition and divine guidance. She published her book so that her story could help all of us.

Please watch this life-changing interview. I recommend her book to anyone who is human.
