67 | Hell's Angels & Other Kinds of Rescue
To change the fruit you must deal with the root!
š
As a kid, James gets beaten up by another boy living in an apartment complex filled with Hellās Angels.
His four-foot-something redheaded mother finds outā¦
⦠marches straight into the middle of the bikersā¦
⦠pounds on the doorā¦
⦠and confronts the boyās mother.

What follows is an unexpected lesson in courage, respect, protection, and the strange ways people can become connected.
But that story opens the door to something much deeper.
James talks about being placed in a group home, the abuse he experienced there, his motherās own recovery from alcoholism, and the year of his teenage life spent moving through treatment centers for an addiction he says he never actually had.
š
The more nobody believed him, the more James learned how to tell them exactly what they expected to hear.
And along the way, he received an education he never needed.
āļø
Sometimes the solution to one problem becomes the beginning of another.
Again, this episode explores what happens when we manage symptoms without ever reaching the rootāand why real healing requires going deeperā¦
