Sanity Sessions: Real Talk
Sanity Sesh 8.3-Freedom, Failure, and Faith: Life After Life feat. Richard Crosson-Part 1
In the first of this 2-part episode, Dr. Dawn sits down with her cousin to talk about his journey through incarceration, the trauma that shaped him, and the road to finding healing after hitting rock bottom. This is not a polished story—it’s raw, honest, and filled with lessons about brokenness, redemption, and the power of second chances. Together they explore the pain that led him there, the struggles of rebuilding life on the outside, and what it really means to move forward when your past keeps trying to pull you back.
This conversation isn’t about glamorizing the struggle—it’s about naming it, facing it, and learning how to rise from it. If you’ve ever battled shame, carried the weight of your past, or wondered if real change is possible, this 2-part episode is for you.
