Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

What does it take to break a destructive cycle and rebuild your life?

In this episode of Healing & Becoming, Coach Tamika welcomes David Watson, author of Forward Only: A Memoir, for an honest conversation about grief, incarceration, faith, and second chances.

David shares how childhood loss fueled years of criminal behavior—and how a nearly ten-year federal prison sentence became a turning point. Together, they explore accountability, the cost of lost time with family, and the daily choices that support lasting transformation.

You’ll hear:

  • How unprocessed grief can shape destructive patterns
  • The role of faith and personal responsibility in restoration
  • Why rebuilding your life requires both a plan and consistent action

Your past has consequences, but it does not have to decide your next chapter.
