This is Part 2 of a 3 part episode called The Skipping Rock - We recommend you listen to Part 1 first, which will undoubtedly give greater meaning to the following Parts two and three. ( Part 3 is available here. )

When we left Casey in the last episode, in Part One, she was making some big decisions in her life, wanting to not only leave the trauma and dysfunction of her childhood behind, but also coming to grips with having to earn a living. She decided to take a waitressing job at a strip club, which led to dancing, and the fast money of the sex industry.

Casey was 18 years old.

Suddenly she had a nice house, a car she loved, and plenty of money, all part of the fast paced life she was now living. For her, at that moment, it was working, she had arrived, and was going to enjoy it. There were lots of friends, lots of alcohol, and plenty of the attention she was seeking.

As we enter back into Caseys world, one that was accelerating fast, she met someone that slowed things down, for a moment, someone that would mean a great deal to her.

Excerpt from the episode: You can't look at someone that looks like they're put together and think, Oh, they've just had a perfect life. But also you can't look at someone that looks like they don't have their life put together and say, Oh, they chose to be there. I want people to see the most hopeless looking person on the street and see hope to see life to see a future. Not only that, but to see that there's an individual, like a thriving individual there. That just needs to break out - Casey
