Trigger Warning: Trauma, depression and suicidal ideation
Are you ready to make a change in your life? This week, Jac’s going solo and opening up about her personal story with mindfulness and the transformational impact it’s had on her life through her darkest days. From feeling lost after college to going through a gut-wrenching divorce, Jac shares the messy yet transformative nature of this practice. She breaks down what mindfulness is, how it helped her gain clarity, and why it’s not always easy and isn’t meant for everyone. Jac also introduces her exciting new venture, Words for Monday, a platform for both healthcare professionals and everyday individuals to learn about mindfulness, find community, and get started on their own journey. Hopefully, this episode makes you feel seen, gives you hope, and gives you reassurance that there can be beauty on the other side of pain.

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.
