What does real personal growth look like in a teen’s life? In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl speaks with a recent Turning Winds alumnus about the transformation that happens when a young person commits to self-discovery, healing, and maturity.

Through honest reflection, they explore the emotional turning points, from initial defiance and resistance to accountability, connection, and inner strength. You’ll hear how a structured and supportive environment helped this teen shift perspective, embrace growth, and return home with a new sense of purpose.

This is more than a story of behavioral change. It is a raw and hopeful reminder that with time, intention, and the right guidance, lasting transformation is possible.
