This session I was able to chat with Jason Gray ( half of the genius behind Cards For the Culture brand). Jason opens up about his childhood where he battled low self esteem, the impact of his grandmother in his life and how he didn't let his story keep him stagnated but allowed it to fuel him. Jason even participated in my trivia game version about Mental Health. Jason is sharing so many needed gems on what it means to own your story and work through your "stuff". So tune in and listen in as this is one you'll enjoy.

This session I really love because this was my first time going LIVE and it was at the first annual Milwaukee Podcast Festival. The podcast festival was planned and put together by Jedon (Egos and Opinions podcast) and Jazmine (#20Something Series podcast).

Listen in as I share a piece of my story with transitioning into adulthood and getting to the place of loving me.
