Many people carry trauma from childhood, abuse, betrayal, or feeling like they were never meant to exist. For some, it becomes a life sentence. For others, it sparks the fight to heal.

In this episode, Dr. James Adkins sits down with Vita Galore to talk about her journey from darkness to light. From childhood abuse and family betrayal to decades of self-healing, Vita shares how she rebuilt her life and why she believes anyone can learn to choose empowerment over victimhood.
