In the first episode of my podcast, "Healing and Dealing," I delve into the turbulent events that shaped my life. From witnessing my parents' struggles with addiction and incarceration to experiencing the impact of my brother's arrest, I recount the challenges that plagued my upbringing. Amidst the chaos, I found the strength to confront my mother's addiction and support her on the path to recovery. Determined to break free from the cycle, I focused on my education and pursued independence. Join me as I reflect on the resilience I discovered through hardship and the personal growth that emerged from my journey.

Episode Highlights:

 

• Growing up, I witnessed my mom's abusive relationships and drug addiction, while my father struggled with alcoholism.

• My brother's arrest and imprisonment deeply affected my family and me.

• During my teenage years, my dad was also incarcerated, leaving me without a father figure.

• After my dad's release, we worked on rebuilding our relationship.

• I confronted my mom about her drug addiction, which eventually led her to seek rehab and recover.

• Despite the challenges, I pursued education and independence as a teenager.

• I went through an early marriage that ended in divorce.

 

"I've come to a point in my life and have realized that all the trauma that I've been through has all been for a significant reason. And it's all happened to me so I can have a voice and I can help others who are going through similar situations or maybe have in the past." - Charlotte
