Today, Jan is again joined by Joshua Blomquist. In part two, Josh, emerging from prison with a new perspective, shares the powerful second half of his story. He details his journey through recovery, beginning as a case manager at the very organization that helped him, "Helping Hands." Josh discusses the profound work of addressing his trauma, learning that the question isn't "what's wrong with you?" but "what happened to you?". His experiences, once a source of shame, became his greatest asset in helping others. Now the Chief Operating Officer of a multi-million dollar organization, he reveals how he found purpose, healed relationships, and is ensuring his own child has an ACEs score of zero.
