What does survival look like when even your basic humanity is stripped away?
In this raw and heartbreaking episode, Autumn Starr Canterbury recounts one of the darkest periods of her life—when she was accused of lying, violently punished, and subjected to extreme isolation. After being called a liar, the abuse escalated. She was denied food, stripped of her belongings—including her late mother’s most cherished items—and forced to live outside on a cinder block for three months.
With nothing but a blanket to sleep on and no place to call her own, Autumn was left to endure long days and colder nights in silence. She was made to sit outside before sunrise and wasn’t allowed back inside until well after midnight.
This episode is a sobering reminder of how deep cruelty can go—but also how unbreakable the human spirit can be. Autumn’s testimony shines a light on survival, reclaiming dignity, and rising up even when the world tries to erase you.
