From Prison to Purpose with Judy Henderson

This episode is big. It's raw, real, and incredibly powerful.

My guest, Judy Henderson, was wrongfully convicted of murder and spent 36 years behind bars. But her story isn’t one of bitterness — it’s one of strength, grace, and the unshakable power of personal choice.

Judy shares how, even inside prison walls, she chose to own her time. She earned her degree. She created programs. She mentored others. And most of all—she chose to live on her terms, not the system’s.

We talk about:
✨ The power of personal responsibility—even when the system fails you
✨ Navigating a new "culture" and choosing to rise
✨ Why being better (not bitter) is a game-changer
✨ How light can be found—even in the darkest places

Judy's wisdom is unforgettable, and her spirit is undeniable. This episode will challenge your perspective, inspire your soul, and remind you that our greatest wins often come through the hardest seasons.

🎧 Don’t miss this one. It’s more than a story—it’s a lesson in mindset, clarity, and owning your path.
