In this bonus episode, Cheri Garcia talks about how she prefers to roll -- often with the punches or on her skates! She shares about one of the most miraculous ways that God worked in her life and business in the midst of the COVID crisis and more about her sobriety journey. Through her resiliency and desire to help others, she has learned to give herself enough grace to even find joy again!
