You may know Lauren Sisler as the Emmy Award-winning ESPN sideline reporter with the signature sideline shimmy — but what you might not know is the heartbreaking story behind her smile.
At just 18 years old, Lauren lost both of her parents to a hidden opioid addiction… on the same day. In this episode, Lauren opens up about the shame, silence, and grief she carried for years — and how she slowly found her voice, her purpose, and the power of falling in love with her story.
We talk about what shame really looks like for children of addicts, how addiction affects the whole family, and how Lauren turned her most painful experience into a mission to help others own their stories, too.
This conversation is raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring reminder that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible.
