Cole is approaching this episode like a therapy session by opening up and talking about where he’s been. Before the beginning of the year, one small hurdle happened within his family. Little did he know that this “small hurdle” would have a domino effect over the next month of his and his family’s life. It’s been overwhelming at times, but life is not defined by what happens to you—it’s about how you respond, as we hear in this episode.
