Overcoming Adversity At Its Highest Level
from The Motivated Mind · host Scott Lynch
Cheryl Hunter's upbringing in a small town fueled her dreams of venturing into a big city and pursuing a career in modeling. With her aspirations within grasp, she embarked on a journey abroad to turn her dreams into reality. However, everything took an unexpected turn when she encountered a man with a camera who offered her a ride, altering the course of her life forever. Kidnapped and held captive by criminals, Cheryl faced a harrowing ordeal, ultimately left for dead. Today, she channels this life-altering experience to empower others in overcoming adversity.
