This episode is with Ariel. She has two kids, one who has multiple learning disabilities and a visual disability, and her herself struggles with mental health. Ariel is somebody who struggles but she always tries to do her best, she's a great mom, just an overall good person. We discussed a lot about autism and how much she has learned from her son, and it turned her into a very strong advocate. Her and I also discuss our struggles with our demons and our pasts.

Cedric Wolf, or Mr. Penguin to his TikTok followers, offers a deeply personal narrative of transformation. He candidly shares his past as a social chameleon, driven by the fear of rejection and self-imposed isolation. Cedric's breakthrough came with the revelation of unconditional self-love: the understanding that he is complete and necessary for "All That Is," simply by existing. This powerful shift in belief has profoundly impacted his life, fostering an inner peace and self-acceptance that inspires profound joy.

Adrienne has done more than survived; She has thrived. Less than 3% of former foster youth attend college. 20% of the US prison population was in foster care at one point. She's not spouting rainbows and sunshine; life can and very often is cruel. She am offering the reader/listener hope, hope that the trauma/situation will end, hope that the future will be different, hope that life can improve. Her story is best summarized by the trigger warnings that accompany my book. Trigger Warnings: Emotional and physical abuse, the sexual assault of a child, the drowning death of a child, extreme poverty, mental illness, homelessness, foster care, pedophilia, graphic sexual descriptions, violence, bulimia, incest, death, and suicide. Please proceed with caution.
