In this episode Meg discusses with Cindy her heart breaking experience of losing her daughter, Candice, to a drug over dose just a few months before she was ready to graduate from high school. After the tragedy, Cindy was encouraged to tell her story which resulted in her book: It Can Happen to Any Family: How Drugs Took my Daughter's Life. We talk about what steps she took to become an author in order to share her story.

In addition to writing a book, and doing many speaking engagements, Cindy also runs a successful salon providing hair services, natural nail manicures and pedicures, facials, professional skin care and spray tanning: Cindy's Guys & Gals. We also discuss what it takes to run your own business, the advantages and drawbacks, and we talk about the career as a hair stylist.
