Image being Laura, craving attention, wanting to be a relevant voice to help others, being the bad guy in this whole thing, being in debt with no known career, having to compete against little kids in horse things, making your whole family make serious life changes due to your actions.

There is a way out. Complete accountability.
Be the one who admits it all. Come completely clean. Write a book. Do a podcast. Just complete honesty and say why you did it and what motivated you and be the voice of accountability.
It is the only path to redemption.
