In this emotionally charged episode, we sit down with Shelby Bowen, an extraordinary woman whose life journey is a testament to resilience, courage, and the complexities of the reportedly broken family court system. Shelby's story is one of remarkable achievement: basketball star with a master's degree, a history of service in the Air Force, a business owner, a personal trainer and now a devoted mother of four. However, her life takes a turn as she navigates a legal battle with her ex-husband, leading to the unthinkable—the removal of her children. The unspeakable tragedy of Catherine Kassenoff should never happen to any other women.
