Since the 90s mass shootings have continued to rise in numbers. This year alone, as of April, there have been 179 mass shootings in the US, 16 of which have been school shootings. Fear and anxiety have become the default for our children as we send them to school everyday knowing that their schools are not safe. Change needs to be made, and it’s so important that we continue to speak out on this pressing issue. In this episode, I discuss the heartbreaking reality with a survivor of a shooting which took place in 1998. Mary Hollis Inboden talks about her horrific experience at Westside Middle School when she was only 12. The aftermath of this shooting has traumatized her and her classmates to this day. Mary Hollis lost her best friend Paige,a teacher and classmates on that horrific day. The sad fact is that I had never heard of this particular shooting. Columbine put school shooters on the map and today it’s as if Americans forget each one so easily and move on. These people all have names and families and friends that love and miss them. This episode is heavy but I could not be more proud of Mary Hollis for sharing and hopefully her story will instill change. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Statistics show 61% of adults have experienced at least one ace (adverse childhood experience) before the age of 18. With the number of people who have had to go through childhood trauma, it’s no wonder that there continues to be a rise in drug addiction as people try and find a way to cope with their past trauma. That's why I am so glad to have author and former model Suki Jones as this episode's guest to have this important discussion. Growing up Suki dealt with a lot from an abusive alcoholic dad to her parent's constant fighting, to her grandfather molesting her Suki had to deal with so much trauma as a child which led to her beginning to use drugs as early as 13. If you’d like to learn even more about Suki and her journey you can pre-order her book Sea, Swallow Me on Amazon, Apple Books, or Barnes & Noble. I am an independent podcaster and your monthly donations and partnerships help more than you can imagine - Join my Legacy membership on Patreon.

While we are seeing more diversity and inclusivity on our screens, at the same time the world seems to be becoming more and more divided. The entertainment industry is finally taking steps forward in including more and more POC and LGBTQ+ representation the real world seems to be taking a step back. With laws being brought forward that negatively impact the LGBTQ+ community and hate crimes on the rise.

Sometimes it can feel like all the cards are stacked against us, like there’s no way to get out of the situation you’ve been dealt. As always on this podcast I want to show people that it does get better and going on is worth it. That’s why I’m So excited for this episode's guest Elaine Mingus who is proof that if you don't give up and you keep fighting there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. From a young age Elaine had many obstacles thrown her way, from being groomed, to developing bulimia, to becoming a drug addict. After all of these trials some would think it’s impossible to get through everything she’s been through. However not only has she gotten through it she has thrived as well. She is now living her best life as a public speaker, business woman, wife, mom of seven, and is even running for Mrs Texas. Elaine is such an inspiration when it comes to overcoming one's trauma and I am so happy I was able to have her on. I am an independent podcaster and your monthly donations and partnerships help more than you can imagine - Join my Legacy membership on Patreon.

Despite the difficulty of his new situation Rick was able to not only recover but grow.I'm extremely honored to have had Rick on as this episode's guest. He has accomplished so much after his accident and is a great example of how no matter the hardships it is possible to come out on the other side. You can learn more about Rick’s story in his book Red Letter Days. I am an independent podcaster and your monthly donations and partnerships help more than you can imagine - Join my Legacy membership on Patreon.
