About this episode

Hi, everyone! I’m opening up about something really personal today. Many of you know my dad has been in prison for a long time for sexually abusing me as a kid. And as I work through my healing, I’ve decided that visiting him will complete that journey. So, tune in to hear more about my decision and why I’ve decided to see him face-to-face for the first time in decades.
