Welcome to Episode 34 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this empowering episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie, I sit down with author and storyteller Calvin Bagley, whose memoir Hiding from the School Bus reveals his extraordinary journey from an isolated, "no-schooled" upbringing to reclaiming his identity, healing from religious trauma, and building a life rooted in purpose and self-discovery.

Calvin shares what it was like to grow up cut off from traditional education, how he navigated the emotional and psychological effects of religious extremism, and what it took to step into the world for the first time as an adult. He opens up about redefining faith on his own terms, breaking patterns that no longer served him, and rebuilding his future through courage, curiosity, and intentional healing.

This conversation highlights themes of resilience, self-worth, personal reinvention, and the strength required to challenge the beliefs and systems you were raised in. Calvin’s story is powerful, eye-opening, and a testament to the possibility of transformation no matter your starting point.
