164: One Year After the Attack, Gabriella Speaks

One Year After the Attack, Gabriella Speaks

One year ago, a sweet 12-year-old girl in 7th grade was violently attacked at her Middle School by her classmates. Sadly, this story line could apply to countless incidents of bullying across the county. Our podcast this week is a follow-up to the attack on Brooke's daughter, Gabriella. Brooke spoke about this incident previously, and if you haven't done so already, please listen to this episode first for the context.

This special episode was recorded because Gabriella knows others may be experiencing bullying, and she wanted to use her experience, voice, and perspective to hopefully give hope to others. Gabriella shares what she has seen in the past year about her own strength and resilience. Her many nuggets of wisdom now include an understanding that what happens to you doesn't define you and the importance of placing boundaries.  Listen here to this brave 13-year-old, wanting to help others.
