This episode opens the new season with the kind of honesty most people only share behind closed doors. For the first time, Alex hands the mic to her best friend Mari to ask the questions she’s avoided answering publicly for years. The car accident. The collapse. The identity shift. Motherhood. The rebuilding. This is the unfiltered story behind The Brain Edit and the woman who created it. If you’ve ever wondered what actually happened, this conversation gives you the truth.
