Episode 1: The Choice to Change
Change doesn’t start with answers. It begins with awareness.
In this first episode of Walk With Me!, David Torres shares a deeply personal part of his story: growing up surrounded by abuse, carrying those learned patterns into adulthood, and reaching a moment where a decision had to be made. Repeat what was modeled… or choose something different.
This episode explores how early exposure to violence and control can quietly shape reactions, relationships, and identity and how recognizing that blueprint is often the first real step toward change. Through honest reflection and lived experience, this conversation centers accountability without shame and the power of choosing a different path, even when that choice is uncomfortable.
This episode isn’t about perfection or having everything figured out. It’s about naming what was learned, questioning what no longer fits, and understanding that healing often begins with one conscious decision.
