Being so vulnerable and honest online is so powerful. I think of your family often and have so much hope you can escape the cycle of addiction. 🤍
Hi Brandi,
Love the podcast I have followed you for a while now. I’m in recovery and connect with ever thing you share.
Thank you so much for making this podcast. My father was an addict and although he is still clean, my entire childhood he used and I'm still having trouble letting everything go. I'm excited to see where you take this and excited to be apart of it! Again thank you thank you thank you. None of us are alone in this!
Brandi is outspoken, beautiful, truthful, opinionated, bold, caretaker, Momma to an addict. Brandi is amazingly raw and an ally! She is talented and there for people. She is an inspiration and a role model.
So relatable and true. Thank you as always for sharing your story. The reclusive and friend recap is so on point. My family calls it “turtle mode.”
