In this 2-part episode, Ginny chats with Allie Enggren & Samantha Mello of "The Twisted Sisters" podcast. Allie & Samantha met while in beauty school together and bonded over being teen moms before becoming best friends. While they say opposites attract, Allie & Sam say that they also know too many of each other's secrets to ever break their bond. It's amazing that each of these ladies are thriving after everything they've been through.

In part 1, we hear more about Samantha & Allie's friendship and a little more about some of what Allie's been through and how her life has been shaped. She openly discusses how the adversity of being a young, teen mom has shaped her and helped her to grow up. Allie also tells us about ending up with her high school sweetheart after going separate ways...more than once. And she takes us on her journey to becoming a realtor, and living the life of her dreams.

Stay tuned for next week, where we dive in deeper to Samantha's raw journey of trauma & adversity and how she's come out stronger on the other side.
