Step 2: Auditions

When the phone rang, I knew in my stomach that life was about to change. The caller id screen said ‘Ricochet Prod’. I knew that once we started this journey, there would be no turning back.

I also knew, however, that I could no longer bear the burden of the stress I was feeling. I needed help.
