When you think that life couldn't be worse, then listen to the story of Castanita Fitzpatrick who at the age of 5 was already on the road to being sexually traumatized which would continue on for 31 years.  

But then, a miracle happened after she hit a pole head on and she walked away without a scratch she knew it was her "daddy God" that saved her. That was her day of grace that marked the beginning of a new life. She gave me just a snippet of her life on my podcast but I ordered her book today after hearing her story. You can find her book on Amazon at

Dr. David MacIntyre,  Psy.D., LPC  knows what it is like to have to finally face the fear of admitting that addiction has taken control of your rational thinking.  As a professional therapist it was hard to come to terms with the fact that his drinking had gotten him in the same situation his patients were facing yet he felt he should be able to handle it so he denied it for too long. 

In this inspiring talk Dr. Mac shares his story and encourages others to get the help they need before it's too late.

My husband was spit at and physically injured by a meth addict a couple of days ago and it was like watching television. She also spit at the police when they got there and it was just a week ago, watching television when we saw a man with an underlying mental illness was high on drugs and he too spit on the police. He also had to have a spit hoodie put on him. After all we are in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic!. Unfortunately he ended up dead. Addiction gets the best of all of us at one time or another. Whether it is food, drugs, social media, sex , television, gambling, work or something else, it all starts with a mindset. We just need to change our thinking and decide. Are you ready to change?

After being hit by a drunk driver Jason died before he experienced an amazing healing that led him to turn the opportunity into a life changing story. After 7 years he still has physical problems but he has been sharing his story and inspiring people to not drink and drive. Listen to this inspiring story of hope and healing.
