Meet Fausto Castellanos aka "Hope Dealer Fausto." As a child, Fausto was the victim of sexual abuse, leading him to a years long cycle of shame and fear of exposure. As an adolescent and teenager, Fausto experimented with a variety of ways to change his appearance to escape his past. Living in a constant state of fear that people knew about the abuse ultimately led Fausto to find relief in alcohol and meth. Several years of chaos ensued until a friend sharing a bible verse with him in his early twenties changed his life. Making his way into the rooms of Twelve Step recovery, Fausto embarked on a new life, exploring pursuits like professional jump roping, studying to be a counselor and working in treatment. You will take away insights from Fausto into processing your own traumas and turning your pain into a way of empowering others to release the shame of past experiences.
