Sierra Unraveled
by sierraunraveled
You’ll never unravel me, because only I can unravel me. I am a single mom who decided to leave an abusive relationship with an alcoholic one year ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my life. I never wanted to raise a child alone, but here I am. I share my life stories and experiences on how I ended up right where I am today. I hope my story inspires and encourages other women to never settle when they’re not happy even when it gets hard.

About this show
You’ll never unravel me, because only I can unravel me. I am a single mom who decided to leave an abusive relationship with an alcoholic one year ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my life. I never wanted to raise a child alone, but here I am. I share my life stories and experiences on how I ended up right where I am today. I hope my story inspires and encourages other women to never settle when they’re not happy even when it gets hard.
