If you’re interested in my past, where I came from, and why I do a lot of what I do, then go ahead and listen to the most raw uncut podcast I’ve recorded to date.

She’s a professional Japanese-English interpreter, and probably the best there is, working with world leaders and presidents at the UN and other global business leaders. But we have a shared history being raised in a cult that affected everything about us today.
The impact on our lives is huge and it takes a level of incredible resilience for anyone to turn something like that around and build a life, a family, and a successful career despite having a dark past.
