Join hosts Shannon and Jess as they sit down with their guest, Terri, for an eye-opening and deeply impactful interview. Terri's childhood was marked by numerous traumatic events, and listeners should be prepared to hear her share these stories as she bravely answers questions from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) quiz.

From a young age, Terri experienced the pain of feeling abandoned. She witnessed her mother being physically abused and endured the sexual abuse of a stepfather. Her mother's struggle with alcoholism further added to the feeling of not being safe and secure. As if that wasn't enough, Terri also had to cope with attending 21 different schools and facing food insecurities.

These early experiences left Terri feeling unsettled throughout much of her adulthood. Terri's adult journey involved two subsequent marriages, struggles with alcoholism, and difficulties making genuine connections. With determination and the love for her daughters as her driving force, Terri sought help. She attended the Betty Ford Center for a 28-day inpatient program, entering with a smile on her face, ready to face her demons. 

Terri's journey towards recovery involves a shift in mindset. She feels blessed to have a wonderful family.  Join Shannon, Jess, and Terri as they delve into her remarkable story of resilience, growth, and the power of love. Prepare to be inspired and reminded that our past does not have to define our future.
