Let me introduce you to the "REAL" LaShondra. I took some time off after Season 1 to rediscover who I am. Season 2 I am allowing myself to be triggered, be afraid, feel all the emotions, be vulnerable, and most of all put myself out there. I'll be sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the experiences that have shaped who I am today, and I'll be doing it alongside some powerhouse guests.  Lets turn your trauma into power this season!
