In episode 9, I sit down with Kissonda Williams - a mother, educator, and coach who shares her journey of leaving a toxic relationship and returning to her hometown for a fresh start. She recounts the challenges she faced as a new driver on a long road trip with her children, the support she received from friends and family, and the divine alignment that guided her along the way.

Kissonda emphasizes the importance of taking care of oneself and celebrating personal achievements. She is currently working on building her online coaching business and focusing on her health. Kissonda's story serves as an inspiration for anyone looking to bounce back from situations that are no longer serving.
