Join Shannon Farrar as she sits down with James Gonzalez, the inspiring founder of Pathways to Services Development, a transformative nonprofit organization based in California. In this powerful episode, James shares his remarkable journey from foster care, addiction, and incarceration to recovery, leadership, and community service.

James Gonzalez is the founder of Pathways to Services Development, a California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to building therapeutic, faith-friendly communities. Drawing from his own lived experience of overcoming foster care, addiction, and incarceration, James has become a passionate advocate for peer support and trauma-informed care. His vision centers on creating better quality care and support systems for vulnerable populations.

James opens up about his personal transformation journey and how his lived experience with trauma, addiction, and the foster care system has shaped his approach to helping others. He emphasizes that those who have walked similar paths are uniquely positioned to provide authentic support and understanding.

The conversation explores the critical role of peer support in recovery and healing. James discusses how connecting with others who have shared similar experiences can be more impactful than traditional therapeutic approaches alone.

James shares his vision for Pathways to Services Development, which focuses on creating therapeutic, faith-friendly communities that provide holistic support. These communities aim to address not just addiction and mental health, but also provide spiritual guidance and practical life skills.

The discussion covers the need for better quality care and support systems for vulnerable populations, including those aging out of foster care, individuals struggling with addiction, and those re-entering society after incarceration.

James explains how incorporating faith-friendly elements into therapeutic communities can provide additional layers of support and meaning for those in recovery.

In this deeply personal episode, Coach and Speaker Jacquie Grillon shares the story of how she went from people-pleaser to powerful boundary-setter — and the painful, necessary lessons she learned along the way. From sobriety to Al-Anon, from mothering through tension to stepping into her full voice, this episode explores what happens when a woman reclaims her power… but still has to learn how to wield it with wisdom. 

You’ll hear about: 

• The hard-won lessons of saying “no” and meaning it
• Advocating for her son — and when silence was the real act of love
• The messy middle between extremes — and the sacred space of “enough”
• Why personal power is not about being loud, but about being clear

This one’s for every woman who’s ever been told to sit down and shut up — and decided to stand up anyway.

In this empowering episode of Come Full Circle with Shannon, host Shannon Farrar sits down with nationally board-certified health coach and menopause expert Karen Cerezo to unpack the often-overlooked experience of perimenopause and midlife transformation.

Karen shares her powerful story of leaving a 17-year teaching career to become a wellness expert—and how menopause symptoms rocked her world at age 46, despite being at the peak of her health.

Together, Shannon and Karen talk candidly about:

• Why perimenopause is still misunderstood—even by doctors
• How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that often dismisses women’s pain
• What actually works: evidence-based strategies for hormone balance, movement, and mindset
• Why “powering through” is not the answer
• The importance of sisterhood, self-compassion, and slowing down

Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, or just want to understand the female body better, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to reclaim your health and joy in midlife.
