The Hidden Prisons Trapping You & How to Break Free

This conversation hits close to home. Christian Howes is Lewis's brother, and Lewis has shared many times what it was like visiting him behind bars as a young man, watching someone he loved trapped in a system designed to break people. Now Christian sits alongside Shaka Senghor, who spent 19 years in prison, including 7 in solitary confinement, to reveal a truth that will shake you: most people walking free are more imprisoned than they ever were. Through journaling, music, poetry, and confronting their deepest shame, both men discovered freedom inside concrete walls before they were physically released. You'll see how the prisons in your own mind, built from unhealed trauma and limiting beliefs, are keeping you from the life you want. Their journeys will show you how to identify what's truly holding you back and give you practical tools to break free, starting with the courage to name your pain and the wisdom to forgive without conditions.
