Dr. Cynthia Williams is a grief specialist and counselor who also works in philanthropy and has a doctorate in humanities and social justice. Having dealt with grief in her own life, she strives to teach others how to avoid the mistakes she's made and how to understand themselves.

As a child, Dr. Williams experienced abuse and struggles with poverty, which led her to become involved in selling drugs to help her family make ends meet. Her involvement with selling drugs would eventually lead to the personal usage of drugs, further complicating her life. At the age of 17, she gave birth to her first child and made changes to her lifestyle, but her association with illegal drugs landed her in a 15 month prison sentence.

Tragedy struck her family when she lost her first born, Christopher, in a vehicular accident which was caused by a distracted driver. She and her family had to learn how to process the grief, and she would later go on to advocate for laws against distracted driving. Today, Dr. Williams continues her work as a grief specialist and advocates for laws to help family receive more personal time from work to properly grieve the loss of loved ones.

The majority of issues adults hold - childhood trauma, abandonment, etc. - is like an artichoke. We all have layers to us that may cover who we really are. The layers are things we've been through that often go unaddressed. During therapy, we have to peel back the layers!

A lot of us think it will never happen to us, but each time you hit bottom you go lower and lower. Eventually you get sick and tired of the excuses, and that's when the change comes!

Jermaine Aldred did not grow up with his father, but our host, Eric Girault, DID grow up with his. Yet, both men succumbed to behaviors and habits that led to incarceration. In this conversation, we discuss the importance of building and maintaining a relationship between parent and child. We also discuss the common theme of drugs and the policies surrounding drug use and conviction, and we expand on Jermaine proclaiming how he had to kill "J. Fly." #AbsentFathers #BadHabits #Family Got a story?

Jermaine Aldred sits with us in this extremely introspective interview where we discuss what real success is, the richness that comes with building a family, and accepting past actions. Jermaine engaged in white collar crime revolving around tax and credit card fraud, and the lucrative and frequent occurrences of his involvement may be tied to why chips are embedded in our credit cards presently. After being caught at an ATM, Jermaine was sentenced to 78 months in prison and had to turn himself in. During his prison sentence is when he began to kill the old habits and identity that led to his incarceration.
