This program has allowed me to heal that little girl that I just talked about. The little girl who was lost, who wasn't nurtured, who wasn't loved, who wasn't paid attention to. You know, this program has allowed me to live life on life's terms, to be okay with the good and the bad, um, to pause before I think, say, and do to apologize right away when I've, when I've done something off color.
