VOTB Ep 10. Dark to Light
Welcome back to Episode Ten of "The Voice of the Broken"! We're thrilled to hit double digits and celebrate this milestone with you. Today's episode is special as it highlights a success story amidst our usual heavy themes. Our storyteller is a 29-year-old who turned his life around from drug dealing to becoming a proud father. Growing up in a tumultuous environment with domestic violence and homelessness, he found himself deep in the drug trade. A turning point came when a girl he liked wouldn't commit to a drug dealer, prompting him to change his life. He earned his GED, got his driver's license, and secured his first official job. Fast forward to today, he's a devoted family man, happily married with two sons, and credits therapy, family support, and a conscious decision to improve his life for his remarkable transformation.A huge shoutout to Zach and Jenny for their behind-the-scenes work and to my wonderful wife, Peaches, for her dedication to her own mental health podcast episodes. Remember, our podcast often deals with intense themes like abuse and self-harm, so please take care if these topics are difficult for you. Thank you for tuning in and supporting our community. If you want to share your story, email us at 2bebetter@gmail.com, titled "The Voice of the Broken." Let's continue to change the world, one story at a time. See you in the next episode!
