What happens when your safe place becomes a battlefield for your beliefs, your body and your cultural identity?  In this truth-telling episode, author and Stamford University interpersonal dynamics educator Chanchal Gang shares her escape from spiritual and sexual abuse and what she did to reclaim her voice and set boundaries. Chanchal shares how she broke free from cultural and familial expectations and shifted to a life of healing with tools of transformation that include yoga, ancestral healing, and radical empathy. With raw honesty and fierce compassion, we explore the challenges women, especially women of color, face everyday. This powerful conversation is a survival guide for trauma recovery, boundary setting, cultural identity, and reclaiming your story.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
