Misty Upham
Episode description
“I have always known that I had a big purpose. Not to be cocky, but, always knew. Just felt that driving power which made me fearless and relentless. My parents were told by more than one spiritual leader that I had a bright light around me. My uncle saw me before I was born and noted this light. My parents told me from birth my life would be hard but it was to make me strong. A bigger purpose is what gave me the strength to keep living.” - Misty Upham
