In the latest episode of Better Call Daddy, we venture into the multifaceted world of Cam Sully, a man who guards by night and podcasts by day. Cam takes us through the winding paths of his life, from his unexpected insights as a security guard to his passionate endeavors in podcasting. He shares the importance of assertive communication, the relief of therapy, and the freedom found in speaking one's truth without seeking permission.

With a candid reflection on family dynamics and societal expectations, Cam discusses the pressures of being the eldest child and the liberation that comes from forging one's own timeline. He delves into the intricacies of white lies versus honesty, as taught by his parents, and the balance between the two.

Cam's storytelling extends beyond his personal experiences, offering listeners a pragmatic guide to navigating the world of movies and entertainment. His advice on choosing films based on plot descriptions rather than trailers, and his thoughts on the value of time, provide a refreshing take on consumption in the digital age.

But it's not just about film critique; Cam's vision for his podcast, the Jacked Up Review Show, is a testament to his belief in the power of conversation and connection. His call to action for anyone with a dream is simple yet profound: stop waiting for permission and start creating your legacy.

Join us as we dive into a conversation that's as jacked up as it is insightful, with a guest who embodies the spirit of self-expression and the pursuit of authenticity.

At just 8 years old, Kelly Wallace faced the unimaginable—testifying in court against her own grandfather, a man who committed the heinous act of sexual abuse. Her story is a stark reminder of the silent battles that many face, hidden behind the closed doors of seemingly ordinary homes.

Kelly's journey is not just one of survival, but of unwavering courage and the pursuit of healing. As an alcoholic in recovery since 2001, she confronts the overlooked correlation between addiction and the trauma of sexual abuse. With raw honesty, Kelly discusses the ongoing challenges of trust and the complexities of family dynamics, especially when those who should protect you become the perpetrators.

In a poignant conversation that spans the personal to the systemic, Kelly reveals the inadequacies of a legal system that often fails the innocent, the generational cycles of abuse, and the power of speaking one's truth. Her voice is a clarion call for awareness, change, and the empowerment of survivors everywhere.

Join us as we dive into a narrative that, while difficult, is necessary for shedding light on the shadows of abuse and the strength it takes to stand against it. Kelly's story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to fight back and forge a path towards a brighter, more just future.
