PJ opens up about her time in the system, the trauma she faced, and how she transformed it all into a life of purpose. From surviving two heart attacks and homelessness to becoming a minister, bestselling author, and advocate for youth aging out of foster care, PJ shares how she found her superpower in joy—and how others can too. Her story is not just inspiring—it’s a roadmap for resilience.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8WuUFIMFUSay5plSADwgb73Q5PM-uFS4lCGdvUxgams/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOTVj/MTUzMzM2NDJmZjQy/YzE3ZTI3NGQyMDM5/ZDc4Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
