This is what Carly said about her College experience. "Having all new friends was really refreshing." She shared how she could finally be herself and no one knew her or her past. . In addition to that, Carly (@gwendalyncarly) and I talk about how she grew up having divorced parents with siblings of all different ages, how she met her daughter’s father, which turned out to be a very toxic, horrible relationship. Carly was literally scared for her life at some times during this relationship. Luckily, she was able to leave before she was seriously hurt and is now a single mom. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

In this episode, I chat with Teishia (@_teishiac_) about her hard childhood, her drug addiction that began at age 12, dropping out of High School so she could help take care of her younger siblings, bad relationship with her mom (since mended) and then having kids of her own, one of which has been sick and no one knows what is wrong with her. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

In this episode, I chat with Jesenia of @pmddwarriors on Instagram. She gives some insight on Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, also known as PMDD. This has to do with a woman’s menstrual cycle. “In short terms, it’s PMS on steriods.” . This episode was really insightful for me. I’d never heard of PMDD before. It is interesting and could be the answer for many women that struggle more than normal when it comes to your menstrual cycle. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

Running a podcast does cost money!

I am doing this in what little spare time I have. This is something I am super passionate about, so I don't mind doing it out of pocket. But if you wanted to help out with some costs, it would be so appreciated! Money is spent on buying and hosting this website, recording and publishing equipment, plus I give each guest a little present as a THANK YOU from all of us for sharing their heart.
