In this 5-minute SNAP Session, Dr. Dawn gets real about redemption vs. reputation through three lenses: her cousin Richard’s redemption story, the mess of the Epstein files, and her own sometimes-funny, sometimes-hard journey of “growing up.”

This isn’t about gossip...it’s about how our stories, our scandals, and our struggles shape the way we show up in the world.

In part two of this powerful conversation, Dr. Dawn and her cousin, Richard go deeper—unpacking the ongoing process of healing, rebuilding trust, and redefining purpose after incarceration. They talk about what accountability looks like, how faith and family played a role in his recovery, and the daily fight to stay grounded when old wounds and old patterns try to resurface.

This episode isn’t just about survival—it’s about transformation. It’s about what it really takes to create a new story for your life, even when others only remember your past. Together, they explore the hard truths, the small victories, and the hope that comes from refusing to let brokenness have the final word.

If you’ve ever wrestled with starting over, struggled to forgive yourself, or needed a reminder that redemption is possible—this part of the story will speak directly to you.

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.
