On this raw and riveting episode of Affirm That Sh!t, Jennifer sits down with Eve Csakvary, "The Legendary Coach," for an unforgettable conversation about survival, strength, and the fight to rebuild. Founder of the Open Hands Institute and host of the Openminds2Openhands podcast, Eve has dedicated her life to empowering others—but her journey to becoming a beacon of transformation wasn’t without battles of her own.

Eve opens up about the silence she carried for 15 years. At just six months old, her daughter was sent to live with Eve’s mother in Europe, a heart-wrenching decision that left Eve questioning everything. Missing milestones like her daughter's first steps and enduring guilt, Eve vowed that this wouldn’t be her ending.

With grit and determination, Eve clawed her way back—through food shortages, cold homes, and feeling like a foreigner in her own life. A surprise second chance at love in the United Kingdom gave her the life she once dreamed of in Chicago, proving that the hardest part of transformation is staying where you don’t belong.

Eve’s story is a testament to the power of persistence and faith. She reminds us all: you’re stronger than you think, and it’s worth fighting for the life you deserve.
