A Convicted Teen's Powerful Story: Cheryl Armstrong | Ep 041

Gurus & Game Changers

➡️ About the Guest: Cheryl Armstrong
When Cheryl Armstrong was sentenced to 96 years in prison at just 16 years old, hope seemed like a distant memory. Convicted for conspiring to murder her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, Cheryl's life took a dramatic turn. Yet within the walls of her confinement, she found the tools to transform her life through education and personal reinvention. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest places, the seeds of renewal and purpose can grow.
This episode also sheds light on the broader issue of juvenile sentencing and the critical role of rehabilitation programs like the Juveniles Convicted as Adults Program (J-CAP). We explore Cheryl's advocacy for incarcerated youth, her remarkable reconciliation with a victim's family member, and ongoing efforts to spread hope and positivity within the prison system. Cheryl's story is not just one of resilience but a testament to the transformative power of second chances.
Moreover, Cheryl has written a book, Plant Your Energy: Face Your Demons and Transform Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Your-Energy-Demons-Transform/dp/1774820544) aimed at helping other criminals rehabilitate, sharing the lessons and insights she gained through her own journey.
