Travis grew up feeling unloved and unwanted as he bounced from one foster home to another. In an attempt to navigate through various traumatic events, Travis turned to alcohol and drugs, committed numerous crimes, and unleashed his anger onto his community.

On this episode, Travis will discuss:

How to heal from the effects of childhood traumaThe impact of trauma on relationshipsWhy emotional healing can be more challenging for menThe importance of creating a safe space for men to heal

Today, Travis’ addiction has been replaced with his recovery. His shame and depression have been transformed into empathy and compassion. Poverty has turned into security, and fear has been transformed into love.
