Raised by a bipolar alcoholic mother and a father with a gambling addiction, Lori Thomas spent her childhood in constant motion—physically, emotionally, and mentally. In this unfiltered episode of The Resilience Files: Unlocked, Lori opens up about surviving addiction, bulimia, instability, and eventually learning how to put herself first.
This isn’t just a story about hardship. It’s about healing out loud—and reclaiming your identity when no one ever gave you space to build one.
