Welcome to Breakfast of Choices! I’m your Host, Jo Summers. On this podcast, I’m diving into the journey of overcoming trauma, and extreme struggles, and discovering hope through personal narratives. I kick off the conversation today by sharing my own transformative experience. At the age of 19, I went to prison. My life had become a mess starting at about 11 years old.
In everything, the partying, the drugs, the selling the running the much older crowd, and now caught up to me that first early morning in jail, I was staring down at my breakfast. The first thing I heard was someone asking if I wanted my biscuit and jelly, and there I sat thinking about all the choices I had made, that got me to where I was, I knew I'd put myself in this position. It took me a while to learn. But that also meant that only I had the power to change it. I could create my own breakfast of choices.
Reflecting on the decisions that led me down that path, I realized the immense power within myself to enact change and I embarked from there, on a journey of personal growth. Through raw and authentic storytelling, I invite you to explore with me, the theme of overcoming adversity, highlighting the resilience and strength found within the human spirit. Together, we’ll go from Rock Bottom to Rock Solid!
If you would like to tell your story, I sure would love to listen. Please email me at breakfastofchoices@gmail.com.
From Rock Bottom to Rock Solid.
We all have them...every single day, we wake up, we have the chance to make new choices.
We have the power to make our own daily, "Breakfast of Choices"
