"I was literally living the same life, as my mom did with my dad, that I always said I would never do." ~Mindy
Mindy is someone that I have known for over 20 years (which is crazy). In her story, you will learn about what's it's like to be the child of an addict. You often fall into roles unknowingly and find yourself a child of neglect. Sometimes when your parent has an addiction problem, out of the sheer cycle of addiction, you end up being in a relationship and even marriage with what you are comfortable with, another addict. You also hear why she found herself wanting to be so independent as a child, which helped her cope when facing the biggest challenge of her life. Mindy also shares the impact of what losing her mother was like.
Mindy's ability to understand so fast the role she played as a child and an adult is admirable. She wasn't scared to change her co-dependent ways. She was/is brave enough to get help when she needed it in the depth of her crisis. She is extraordinary because Mindy broke the cycle!
Mindy is determined, motivated, and brave. We rarely hear someone be intentional and understand how the cycles and roles of addictions get passed on to the children in the family. And be healthy and smart enough to stop it! Mindy is a REAL LIFE superhero!

"When I woke up I knew something happened because you feel it in your body." ~Grace El
Grace contacted me via social media to share her story. This brave human got on zoom with me and told me her story!
Like Sara, my last guest, She also is a twin! Her biological father abandoned them when they were young. She went through an unheard-of amount of betrayal by people that continuously told her they were her friend. Because she is such an adaptable human being, she found herself bouncing from city to city after being in the military. Through this experience, she found herself quickly in survival mode again and again. Grace opens her heart as the story goes on. She talks about being assaulted by "friends," sleeping on couch after couch until she finally loses herself enough to know she needs help. Grace shows us her courage as she attempts to lose co-dependency and find a way to live for herself again.
Grace's story unravels; the more you go into it, the more she reveals. Grace is kind, determined, funny, and loyal.
"It's like that conversation about ACAB. People ask, 'What is going to happen when you get assaulted?' I am like, 'Nobody because they never helped anyway.'" -Jenna
Jenna shares her life with us. After watching her mother fall into addiction problems, she found herself in a caretaker role for her entire family. After running to her dad's house at 16 years old, she finds herself dealing with her step-mom, who also battled an addiction problem.
"It's not a matter of positive thinking. It's about healing my body. It's about getting my control back." - Andy

"I am not holding any piece of this horrible secret anymore." ~Mandy
Remember Mandy from Season 1? She shared the newly discovered childhood trauma that she had just found out about in Spring 2019. She told us how she discovered it, how it has affected her thus far, and what she was doing to heal. If you haven't listened to it, you should totally do that now. This is a follow-up. We often never get to hear someone's pathway to healing. Sometimes we don't shake the trees because we don't know what will come with it. We don't know what's on the other side. Mandy shares her journey with us, and it's extremely insightful. She tells us what has happened since and talks about her rebirth into the person she is today. Mandy is a brave, courageous healer and a complete badass!

This episode is totally different from what we have done in the past. I interviewed Joanne who has spent her entire life (now in her 80's) being a believer!
