Real-life isn’t made up of the picture-perfect end of a fairy tale, or wittiest “fall in love” moments of a RomCom. Real-life is messy, beautiful and full of so many lessons when you open yourself up to receive them, but messy nonetheless. In this episode, our host Britt shares what her own messy and beautiful life has looked like having an alcoholic dad, her best memories with her grandparents growing up, trying to navigate her teen years, and becoming a teen mom. Tune in for the beginning of Britts journey, finding her way, and finding her strength.
