Stacie Wimer is a single mother with a teenage daughter who lived with her ex for eight years before realizing he was addicted to alcohol. In this episode we learn about what she finds important in life and what reality looked like for a while. How they met and what the glue was that kept them together. The complications and the burden it was until she gave the ultimatum.  What you are about to listen to is the journey of woman trying to do the right thing, and the price we pay for not listening to ourselves. She did not hide from her truth for one second, but it took a second to get there.

What I learned in this episode and the episodes to come is how much we give to others without being mindful of what we need. Stacie shares her life without filters for us to take a glance and hopefully not repeat the same mistake. Her interview is completely unedited and it reveals the truth behind her closed doors. From the stigma associated with telling the truth to how quickly the loyalty was divided when families had to choose sides. I hope you find strength in her story. As an audience, I hope you hear what I did, which is the cost we pay for wanting it to work out, time.
