Part Two: Beth - Alisha - Susan

In this episode of the Broke Girl Society podcast, the hosts and guests share their personal journeys of overcoming gambling addiction/affliction/disorder/problem. They reflect on the challenges they faced, the steps they took towards recovery, and the hope they found in community support. Each story highlights the importance of self-awareness, the struggle of gambling related harm, and the power of resilience as they move into the new year with renewed strength and determination.
