  • Episode 226: Cupcake Brown: A Story of Hope and Redemption

    Welcome to Episode 226!  There is a lot to be inspired by in this episode.  We have people doing amazing things to revive and protect coral reefs.  We have the story of a woman's three decade long search for her missing son.  Finally we have the story of Cupcake Brown (yes that is her name) who despite an incredibly hard life made something out of herself and now inspires others to do the same.  

    Warning:  the Cupcake Brown story is not for little ears and may be triggering for some.  But I promise it has a happy ending.

    Come have a listen and walk away with some inspiration.
