This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah sits down with author of Piece by Piece, Sheryl Hauk, or a conversation that is as powerful as it is uplifting.

Sheryl shares her story of surviving sexual, mental, and physical abuse, and what it meant togrow up feeling silenced. But this isn’t just a story of pain—it’s one of healing, resilience, and rediscovering your voice.

We talk about the work she does today supporting other survivors, the role music has played in her life through conducting, and how growing up in Hawaii shaped her perspective through the spirit of ALOHA—connection, compassion, and love.

This episode holds space for the hard things, while also reminding us of the beauty, strength,and joy that can exist alongside them.

A deeply human conversation that we think will stay with you long after it ends.
