His turning point came when a single person believed in him, sparking a change in his self-perception and fuelling his determination to succeed. Throughout the episode, Kyle recounts the therapeutic process that helped him confront and heal from his past traumas. He shares how writing his memoir, 'Wandering Spark', allowed him to face his childhood experiences and understand their impact on his life choices. This cathartic process was pivotal in his recovery and personal growth.
