A funny thing happens when you show your scars. People relate.

  • While some hide their traumas, I share my story.
  • While others are insecure, my story is a super power.

There’s a tale of a successful man and a broken brother. A person asks the successful gentleman, “what made you successful?”

He replies, “I had an alcoholic parent.”

The person asks the broken brother the same question. He also replies, “I had an alcoholic parent.”

Your past makes or breaks you. I chose for it to teach me how NOT to do things. How to not raise a family in a broken environment.

And as I share my story of escaping that toxic world and thriving, I bring others up too.
