Episode 7: When Someone You Love Is in a Gang—The Hidden Cost of Association

from Strive to Thrive · host Elise Smith

Send us Fan Mail "Sometimes, you don’t have to be the one in the gang for it to change your life. Sometimes, just knowing the wrong person is enough to pull you into a world you never asked to be in." Maybe you’re listening to this right now because you’re in that situation. Maybe you feel trapped between loyalty and self-preservation. Or maybe you’ve already walked away, but the scars run deep. Wherever you are on this journey, just know—you’re not alone. And today, we’re going to talk about: How association with gang life affects you, even if you’re not in the gang. The emotional, mental, and physical toll it takes. How to break free, set boundaries, and protect your own future.
