Every year, young adults across the country age out of the foster care system — turning 18 with no family, no safety net, and often nothing but a trash bag of clothes. Many become homeless almost immediately. In this episode of Unfiltered Life with Liz, Liz sits down with Jackson Drumgoole, founder of Bridge Builder Communities to talk about what that crisis actually looks like on the ground — and what he is doing about it in Augusta, Georgia and the CSRA.

Author and speaker Tara Heaton joins Unfiltered Life with Liz to share the true story behind her book, Life Minutes: Igniting Joy from the Fire of Heartache. After her daughter's sudden illness led to a coma, epilepsy, and lifelong seizures, Tara learned how to choose joy in the middle of trauma. Tara and host Liz Bragg dive into vulnerability, grief, "pleasure stacking," and what it truly means to live your life minutes on purpose. If you're navigating heartache, caregiving, or burnout, this conversation will shift how you see joy.

Domestic violence isn't just physical — it's psychological, generational, and often invisible until it's too late. On this episode of Unfiltered Life with Liz, host Liz Bragg sits down with Safe Homes Executive Director Aimee Hall and veteran law enforcement advocate Jamey to break down the cycle of abuse, red flags to watch for while dating, why victims stay (or return) up to seven times, and how the justice system can fail survivors. You'll learn what Safe Homes offers — shelter, legal advocacy, counseling — and how to get help. Crisis Hotline: 706-736-2499.
