Episode: 2 - Carrie Valentin (Part 1)

Carrie has lived a life marked by adversity, resilience, and transformation. She is a mother of three, an Educational Assistant, and the parent of a child who has faced cancer - an experience that reshaped her understanding of fear, love, and endurance. Through personal loss, single motherhood, and life-altering challenges, Carrie made the conscious decision to stop drinking alcohol, choosing presence and clarity over numbing. She has learned to choose growth over avoidance and speaks openly about navigating hardship while continuing to move forward, believing that true strength is found not in perfection, but in persistence and self-awareness.
