In episode 17 we welcome Brooke, a GenZ woman who was gracious enough to share the twists and turns of her tumultuous childhood. We start in Dearborn, MI where Brooke was born, then head to southwest Florida, which becomes the backdrop to the instability of her childhood. She gives us glimpses into her mom, step-dad and biological dad’s alcoholism and substance abuse, then contrasts that with growing up in the Mormon Church. Her sophomore year in high school deserves its own episode alone. She tells us about the first and last time she ever lived with her biological dad, and reflects on how her step-dad became a source of stability for her. She proudly shares her mom and step-dad’s success of sobriety and the eventual healing of her relationship with them. In truth, we are touched by Brooke’s vulnerability in sharing the chaos of her formative years, and in awe of hearing about all she has accomplished today. We can’t wait to see where her life takes her now that she stands on her own foundation of strength and resolution, and look forward to hosting her again!
