In today’s episode, we talk about a number of heavy situations related to abuse, sexual assault, and suicide. Remember to protect your peace and energy and feel free to fast forward through the trauma portions of this episode.
April Hernandez-Castillo joins Terri and Dr. Dom to discuss her experiences with trauma and triumphs. Hailing from the Bronx, April shares her story of navigating Hollywood and motherhood. Her pregnancy journey is one that was life-changing for her and one many of us may have similarly experienced.

Quote of the Day:
"It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward; that's how winning is done."
- Rocky
