Today's Guest(s)

Shelaine Maxfield is founder and president of The Younique Foundation, which she established in 2014. After she and her husband, Derek, became painfully aware of the long-term impact child sexual abuse has on survivors, they envisioned creating an organization that could offer resources and services to provide healing, education, and hope—free of charge. As president of The Younique Foundation, Shelaine guides the overall vision of our work, and focuses on the individual experience of those who are directly served by the foundation.

Dr. Meeker gives you part one of two in this incredible conversation with Shelaine Maxfield and Chris Yadon.
