This episode is dedicated to the memory of Sonya — a Marine, an adventurer, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend, who passed away on May 27th after a nearly twenty-year battle with addiction. In her sister Tracy's words: "I choose to remember my sister, not her addiction." And then we hear a letter Sonya wrote in her own hand. Thank you to Tracy and Dan for trusting me with it.
From there, this is a solo episode recorded from a hotel room on the road at the tail end of a week of conferences, meetings, DMs, and parents at their wit's end — and I came home with one conclusion I can't shake: we are not doing enough. Let's talk about it.
If you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone.
