    Brandi’s Detour: Cancer Survival, Addiction, and Redemption

    Send us a text In this week’s episode, we sit down with Brandi, who opens up for the first time about her story. One that’s equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring. She shares how surviving cancer as a baby left her with lifelong side effects, and how a single canon event in her teens triggered an eating disorder that eventually spiraled into addiction, harder drugs, and jail time. What follows is an honest look at the long, painful road to recovery the kind of healing that strips you down to nothing before rebuilding you into who you were always meant to be. Brandi’s story is proof that even at rock bottom, it’s never too late to start again and that the same person who once struggled to survive can become an incredible mom, a kind soul, and a light for others. Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, eating disorders, drug use, and trauma. Please listen with care.
