|
Hi Reader, I’m thrilled to share this week’s episode with you—it’s one that I believe will deeply resonate with so many of you. Today, I sit down with Justin B. Long, author of The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy: A Journey of Self-Discovery. Justin opens up about his childhood trauma, the toxic masculinity that kept him trapped in silence, and how alcohol became his way of coping with the pain. But this isn’t just a story of struggle—it’s a story of hope. Justin shares how he found the courage to face his past, rewrite his narrative, and begin a journey of healing. His insights are raw, real, and incredibly powerful. If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning, like the weight of your past is too much to bear, this episode is for you. Justin’s story reminds us that healing is possible, no matter how far gone we feel. I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation. Let me know what you think—I’d love to hear your thoughts. Warmly, P.S. If Justin’s story resonates with you or someone you care about, please share this episode. You never know who might need to hear that healing is possible. |
