With no real adult supervision, she had to raise herself. That meant too much freedom, too many distractions, and a version of teenage life that pushed her straight toward trouble.

Her journey is nothing short of powerful.This episode is aboutfaith when life stops making senseendurance through heartbreakfinding strength in the absence of guidancechoosing the right peoplerebuilding when you’ve been brokenand becoming the woman your younger self neededBrittany’s story is raw, vulnerable, and inspiring.
