I love meeting new people willing to let me in and share their “lemon to lemonade” experience!


This story is about Patrick who experienced a lot of trauma from sexual abuse and he developed an eating disorder. Now he has gone through a healing journey and helps others by creating a safe space and teaching that you don't have to held back by something in your past! Patrick is a gay member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a volunteer, a chaplain, and a listening ear because he believes that those who have been wounded become the best healers.

ABOUT the LemonAid Stand: Heidi started hosting the LemonAid Stand live radio talk show, over 20 years ago, in 1999! It all came about when Heidi was dealing with thoughts of suicide, inadequacy, and dealing with infertility. She realized as she reached out to others and heard their stories, she would be uplifted and inspired no matter what she was going through. So this podcast has old "Original" shows from that time period. It also has "New" shows that are currently being recorded with new guests. And it has "Update" shows where Heidi reached out to original radio show guests to find out how the past 20 years have been!
