I have with me, Theresa from Ashley’s Pastry Shop today and we are talking about your partnership with Daybreak and your experience.

2025-04-23T14:59:56-04:00

I have Melissa Aldridge here with me today and she is a past client of Daybreak and so I always like to start with the moment of instability. What was that moment that brought you to Daybreak?

Daybreak’s Courtney Smith on Putting Yourself First with Kindness

2025-02-14T15:36:00-05:00

Courtney, tell us what was the moment of instability that first brought you to Daybreak? The moment of instability that got me into Daybreak was that I was living with my sister. I really didn't have any aspirations to do anything in my life. I didn't graduate from high school on time because I had to pass my OGT science and I didn't know where to get help to even have that happen. So, it made me come here and fix my life and figure out what I need to do to be successful. https://youtu.be/DslZ0KyEeNc  Did you end up completing [...]
