Travis Ross, world-renowned traveling tattoo artist opens up about overcoming a very dark period of his life - child abuse, drug use, homelessness, gang activity, a medical diagnosis of bipolar. Travis shares how he harnessed his internal desire not to fail in order to save himself from his own destructive habits by not only correcting the story he’d been telling himself for years, but also discovering the life-saving power of emotional intelligence, self-compassion and empathy. Founder of The T.R.Y.B.E Movement, Travis helps others find healing by transforming their old wounds, marks, and scars into something beautiful. For full show notes and episode resources head to http://stephaniekwong.com/EP11
