Chapter 1

Surviving PTSD/I

William Rodríguez Abadía, son of Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, former head of Colombia's powerful Cali Cartel and one of the subjects of the Netflix series Narcos, along with former Secret Service agent Samantha Horwitz, 9/11 survivor, come together to tell their stories of trauma and hope.

They not only share untold parts of the story that many would like to know, but they also share their journey into darkness, coming close to death and finding new life.

They learned their lives were intertwined and connected through John Edmonson, Licensed Psychotherapist and Author. John shares how their stories are more similar than different and how their experiences can relate to our own lives and help us find new hope and make real change.

It is an unforgettable journey you will not want to miss.
