I'm always willing to take that learning curve. I hate my voice, I hate everything, and it's hard enough just when I edit. I'm like trying to go through as fast as I can. I don't know if any of you guys feel that way, but I do at least.
Imagine losing your child, your home, and finding yourself homeless on the streets. This is the reality Donna Gilchrist faced. With over 20 years of battling addiction, Donna's story is one of grit, resilience, and ultimate transformation. After her son was taken by the ministry, Donna left a foreclosed home in search of answers, only to find herself entangled in a violent relationship and using intravenous drugs.
Despite countless attempts to escape the cycle of violence and addiction, she was met with barriers and stigma at every turn. It wasn't until she became pregnant that opportunities for change began to appear. Grasping each chance with determination, Donna rebuilt her life. Today, she stands as a loving mother, wife, and fierce advocate for others facing similar struggles.
Reunited with her husband Daniel after six years apart, they now share their experiences through their live streaming video podcast, Hard Knox Talks. This episode of The Blaklist Podcast captures Donna's raw and unfiltered journey, offering hope and inspiration to anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
