   Club Fed Wisdom And The Best Prison Line

   Send a text Fifteen minutes. That’s all my mom got on the phone from federal prison, and reading what she wrote about those calls hit me in a way I didn’t expect. I remember being 11 and trying to sound “fine” so I didn’t make things harder for her. On the page, she hears the crack in my voice, tells me it’s OK to cry, and admits the one thing every parent wants: to hold their child and make the pain go away. If you’ve ever swallowed your feelings to protect someone you love, this one will si...

   They Called You Higher..and You Got Mad.

    You Hold the Keys to Your Own Handcuffs: How To Stop Abandoning Yourself

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered what might happen if you stopped letting your excuses run the show and started turning up the volume on your self-worth? For years, my excuses screamed while my sense of value barely whispered.

    Food Addiction: The Drug We Don't Talk About

    Send us a text Ever wondered why you can't stop at just one bite, even when you promised yourself you would? The answer might be more complex than lacking willpower.

Club Fed Wisdom And The Best Prison Line

Published 14 Mar 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Even inside literal prison, my mom was still growing, still reflecting, still leaning into her faith, still becoming a better version of herself, which means something really powerful. Your circumstances don't define your growth. You can rebuild your life even when everything around you isn't ideal. Another line that made me laugh out loud in this journal was when she said, I wish I had a desktop computer. It would make everything so much easier, which cracked me up because my mom was the fastest typer I have ever seen in my life. But in the same entry, she wrote that she has terrible handwriting, which is also hilarious because her handwriting is actually beautiful. […]
