What if your father was killed by the police while sitting in his car?

Olivia Allen, podcaster, coach, and therapist was fifteen years old when she got the call that no one ever wants to get.

So what would you do if alcoholism had ravaged your family and after your father’s death, it threatened to take you down for good? Would you succumb to your grief and drink yourself to death? Or would break the legacy of alcoholism, get sober and become a mom whose kids have never seen her take a drink?
