💔 Special Guest: Todd Jones
Todd shares his deeply personal story of surviving sexual assault and how that trauma shaped his life, ultimately leading to his incarceration. His story is a raw and emotional look at the long-term impact of abuse on men and how unhealed pain can manifest in destructive ways.
🗣“The greatest way to live your truth is to express your pain.” — Todd Jones
