Following battles with addiction and cycles of repeating periods of incarceration over the course of 10 years; Britney leaned on her faith to transform her mind, heal her soul, mature in spirit, and break the cycles, patterns, and mindsets that kept her bound to lifestyles and choices that kept her in a downward spiral of loss.
