In this episode, host Skylar Jackenthal shares, for the first time, the full story of losing her brother, Sam. From her family’s time in Australia to the heartbreaking realization that Sam wasn’t coming home, Skylar reflects on the moments that still live vividly in her memory ten years later.

This raw and deeply personal episode isn’t easy, but it’s an important one. By finally sharing her story, Skylar hopes to remind listeners that grief is not linear, and that even the hardest truths deserve to be spoken aloud.
