Second Shot

"People put their own limitations on you. I never thought I was limited."

All of us are different, and Chassidy Young knew that from a young age. She did well in school. She competed in dance competitions. She was homecoming queen.

Chassidy was also born with tetra-amelia or, simply put, lacking all four limbs.

Where others might see obstacles, Chassidy sees opportunity and has used her "disability" as a springboard into a life of creative thinking, motivational speaking, and great fashion. She's thriving in a world not built for her, and says she wants other women to know they can feel beautiful in any body. You can find her on social media @chasing_chassidy

Or are they just looking to get you to spend a little extra cash? Also, is it fair to expect someone's child to not act like a child?

“You don’t know any better, so you just do it.”

It’s hard to imagine radio legend Kellie Rasberry Evans in any other profession, but that career might be due to one very well-timed second shot and the bravery of inexperience. From her start in South Carolina to 25 years on the “Kidd Kraddick Morning Show," Kellie has faced personal and professional challenges one after another, including the passing of her host and long-time colleague Kidd Kraddick. But Kellie hasn’t been shy about tackling those challenges and turning them into opportunities.

If being an award-winning radio personality wasn’t enough, she’s now entered the world of fashion by selling bags and clothing online with a very unlikely business partner - her 13-year-old daughter.

“I didn’t know I was in a cult…”

From the age of 13, Anna LeBaron was out on her own, running away from her family. Actually, running away might not be the right way to describe it - escaping is more appropriate. She grew up inside the Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God, a violent polygamist cult led by her father, Ervil LeBaron. She and her more than 50 siblings were constantly moved around the country from Texas to Colorado and even into Mexico, as the family tried to slip away from law enforcement. Dozens of murders were carried out around Anna, including against her own family members.

Few have experienced the types of things that Anna has, but her story of trauma and recovery can serve as a lesson to all of us that there’s always time to re-write your story. You can learn more at annalebaron.com, follow her on social media @annaklebaron, and read about her life inside and outside the cult in her book “The Polygamist’s Daughter.”
