Penelope Campion and Caili met in college through mutual friends. Penelope shares her story of losing her father when she was 9 years old and then having to watch her mom go through an alcohol addiction. Penelope talks about how this affected her and her other siblings and how her relationship today with her mom has come a long way. Please be aware this episode speaks on sensitive topics like alcohol, bulimia, and self-harm.

Through listening to my friend’s story, I’m graciously reminded over and over again how you never know what someone has been through. Everyone’s carrying a story with them.
