Description

Laverne Friesen spent his formative years in an abusive religious cult, where people around him – even his own parents – taught him to feel he is fundamentally flawed. Looking back to his journey of resilience with Daniel Weinberg, he shares how he escaped this unhealthy environment, experienced a mental health crisis, and discovered profound healing through therapy. He talks about learning to catch his negative self-talk and dealing with his biggest childhood trauma to turn his painful memories into purpose. Laverne also discusses how he aims to break the cycle of abuse by doing everything in his power to be a good father to his beloved children.
