The Hardest Seats at the Thanksgiving Table

Mandy gets real about the side of Thanksgiving nobody talks about… addiction, meth in East Tennessee, mental health battles, black sheep stories, and the dread of walking into a family gathering already holding your breath. She shares the memory of her brother Little Bill, the difference between gentle souls fighting addiction and the ones who steal your peace, and why so many of us pray for just one good day. Raw, honest, and Appalachian to the bone… this episode blends truth, humor, and heart for anyone facing a complicated holiday.
