Serina Dansker’s journey is one of profound loss, unwavering resilience, and boundless purpose. Her story begins with heartbreak—losing her beloved son, Scott, to suicide. It is a loss that could have shattered anyone, yet Serina chose a path that would transform grief into advocacy, pain into power, and sorrow into a message of hope for countless others.
In the immediate aftermath of Scott’s passing, Serina found herself navigating the uncharted terrain of grief. “I need to make a difference,” she shared. “I just don’t want anyone else to go through what I’ve gone through.” From this determination, Serina began a healing journey that included retreats, meditation, yoga, and deep community connection. She credits her friends and family as her anchors: “They held me up when I couldn’t hold myself up. They cried with me, laughed with me, and just were there through it all.”
Serina’s healing was not just internal; it was profoundly spiritual. She recounts receiving signs from Scott, moments that reaffirmed his ongoing presence in her life. Heart-shaped leaves, unexpected text messages, reflections in sunsets, and the gentle landing of dragonflies—each sign became a reminder that love transcends physical boundaries. These experiences became central to her philosophy that the soul continues beyond the body, carrying wisdom and elevating vibration.
From this place of deep loss, Serina founded SOS ~ Spirit of Scotty, a personal mission to honor her son’s legacy and support survivors. It was through SOS that she connected with SOS Multi-Media Group, where synergy with Marleny Cruz’s SOS ~ Science of Survival immediately sparked collaboration. This collaboration led to the birth of SOS ~ Stories of Survivors Radio Show, a platform on SOS Radio Live for sharing real-life experiences of survival, resilience, and transformation.
Through the show, Serina amplifies the voices of those who have endured hardship, shining a light on stories that inspire hope, healing, and community. Her work extends beyond broadcasting—she hosts her Self-Love Club, speaks publicly about overcoming trauma, and is finalizing a book that chronicles her journey.
Yet, it’s her philosophy on everyday kindness and presence that resonates most. She emphasizes small acts: a smile, a compliment, or simply being present for someone struggling. “You never know the impact you can have on somebody,” she reminds us. Her approach is simple but profound: show up, listen, and hold space.
Her mantra—“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine”—encapsulates her approach to life. Despite unimaginable loss, Serina chooses to live brightly, intentionally, and compassionately. Her message is one of empowerment: “You are stronger than you think. You’re more powerful than you believe. If you need help, please ask for it. You are never alone.”
Serina Dansker embodies the vision of SOS Multi-Media Group: to educate, empower, and elevate. Through her platform, she transforms personal grief into communal strength, creating ripples of hope that reach far beyond her immediate circle. Her courage inspires others to confront their own struggles, to embrace their pain, and to use it as a catalyst for positive change.
As part of the SOS family, Serina is more than a survivor—she is a beacon of resilience, a storyteller of triumph over tragedy, and a voice for those who are searching for light in the darkest moments. Her journey reminds us that while grief may shape us, it need not define us. Through advocacy, connection, and purpose, Serina Dansker continues to honor Scott’s spirit and illuminate a path for others to follow.
SOS ~ Stories of Survivors Radio Show stands as a testament to her vision: a platform where pain meets purpose, and every survivor has the opportunity to transform their story into inspiration. Serina’s legacy is living proof that even in the face of unimaginable loss, the human spirit can rise, shine, and create profound impact
