Ep. 33 - Healing the Sister Wounds and Reflections of our Relationship
from The Intentional Athlete Podcast · host Ross Leppala
In the last episode, I sat down with my sister, Jessica Leppala, to talk about the journey that led her down a path of substance abuse and then on to become an alcohol and drug counselor. It was an incredibly emotional episode for both of us and we both walked away from that experience connected in ways that we had not ever felt. It was so incredibly healing for both of us to have that conversation. In this episode, I am going to reflect more about that experience and some events leading up to that from my perspective. Jessica, I'm so very grateful that you were able to find your way forward in life. A way to overcome substance abuse and find self-love. I love you!
