Dr. Edith Eger was tortured for years in Auschwitz. Maya Angelou was violently attacked by a grown man at age 8. Colin O'Brady was told he'd never walk normally again after being severely burned in a fire. These survivors made a choice not to let their pasts define their futures. In today's episode, we share their stories.
