In this deeply personal solo episode of Talk Tacoma, host DaniMarie opens up about the recent flood that displaced her family, the grief of losing a loved one, and the emotional toll of a miscarriage—all within the same year. Broadcasting live from an alleyway behind her brother’s home, she shares the heartbreak, the frustration, and ultimately, the unwavering faith that keeps her grounded.

This isn't just a story of devastation—it's a love-hate letter to Tacoma, a reflection on what it means to build legacy through pain, and a reminder that even in chaos, purpose still calls.
