Can healing old wounds lead to a more joyful life? This episode of 'Spirit of Recovery' tackles that question head-on. Host Rev. Dan Beckett welcomes special guest Marilyn Van Derbur, an inspiring advocate for childhood sexual abuse recovery and author of the award-winning book 'Miss America By Day'. Marilyn’s journey is nothing short of remarkable; from being crowned Miss America in 1958 to becoming a beacon of hope for survivors of childhood trauma, her story is both heart-wrenching and uplifting.

This episode wraps up with a brief meditation and personal reflections from both Marilyn and Rev. Dan, providing a moment of calm and introspection for listeners.
