Wounds in the way Podcast S01E07 The Resilient Bounce Back

In this episode of “Wounds In The Way”, hosts Apryl Jones and Melissa Reed welcome former Nickelodeon star Natanya Ross for an eye-opening conversation about her incredible journey from childhood fame to battling heroin addiction and homelessness, and ultimately finding redemption. Natanya opens up about how her world spiraled out of control—her mother’s betrayal, the pressures of Hollywood, her father’s sex change, and the heartbreaking loss of her best friend to a drug overdose in bed with her. These events pushed her to the brink, leading her to Skid Row, California (an area well known for homelessness) where she hit rock bottom.
