Six people with varying backgrounds and challenges share their stories with us. These stories of transformation reflect the Heroe's Journey broken down into real life stages: background, struggle, the fall, the rise, finding purpose. Cece goes from living the life that was expected of her to living the life of her dreams. Eric is a soldier with multiple IED run-ins. He's wrecked by PTSD, yet learns how to find inner peace. Shelby's family has her in conversion therapy before she opts to love beyond her given boundaries. Jeremy experiences a life on skid row before becoming clean and stepping to the life of an Emmy nominated make-up artist. Dayvon is playing in the NFL before he has to fight for his life in order to understand what's of real value to him. Each of these brave story tellers, in their darkest moments, found a way to turn it all around. They each came to the realization that the most accessible hero is the one in the mirror.
