What happens when a ranch-raised girl is dropped into the streets of survival?
In this gripping episode, Autumn Starr Canterbury shares the brutal truth of being placed in a homeless shelter for troubled youth in Albuquerque. Having grown up around horses, wide-open spaces, and a rural sense of peace, Autumn suddenly found herself surrounded by street-hardened kids who operated by an entirely different code.
On her very first day, she was ambushed—thrown under a sheet and beaten. It was a harsh initiation into a world where survival meant pretending, blending in, and learning how to navigate fear without losing your mind. To make things worse, she was forced to take the blame for her twin sisters’ disabilities—an unthinkable accusation used to justify her placement in the shelter.
This episode exposes the injustice of being falsely labeled and discarded—and the deep resilience it takes to rise above it all. Autumn’s story is a testament to the strength it takes to endure abandonment, betrayal, and isolation, and still come out stronger on the other side.
🎧 Tune in for an unforgettable conversation about identity, survival, and reclaiming your truth—no matter where you’ve been dropped.
