She Had To Lose Everything To Find Herself w/ Bria Maletic
Q: What are the three steps you'd tell other women to take right now to start changing their lives?
Date yourself and find happiness with being alone, slow down to reduce stress, and protect your boundaries to preserve your peace and mindset while pursuing personal growth.
18 Years Old. One shot. 32 Years in Prison. Now He’s Free with Jesse Crosson
Q: What does redemption look like in practical terms after years of wrongdoing?
Redemption is defined as action and service, such as mentoring, tutoring, and helping others write letters or read, which became the core of his life after release.
18 Years Old. One shot. 32 Years in Prison. Now He’s Free with Jesse Crosson
Q: How did the intake and boundaries set in prison shape how you interact with others later when you were released?
He explains that early experiences taught him that boundaries can be established through words and public stance rather than violence, a skill that later informed his work in restorative justice.
18 Years Old. One shot. 32 Years in Prison. Now He’s Free with Jesse Crosson
Q: Walk me through a day in prison during the peak of your time; what kept you going and how did you structure your days?
He describes a routine of daily meditation, regular exercise, and structured activities to fill hours, including library visits and programs; these routines provided stability and a sense of purpose that helped him cope and grow.

Q: Where do people typically mess up with the Law of Attraction, and how is your framework different from magical thinking?
People often misattribute results to thoughts alone or to optimistic vibes; the framework differs by centering emotional alignment as the third element that co-creates reality moment by moment, with practical steps to feel and release old wounds rather than merely visualize.
