Amara & Aleeya - S4 | E9

Julia Gaitho
About this episode

Amara’s mother was vibrant, beautiful, and free-spirited—a woman who spoke with an enviable confidence and carried herself with effortless charm. But behind the poise was a crippling addiction, an absence that shaped Amara’s childhood and forced her to step into shoes far too big, far too soon. This is a story of survival, resilience, search for identity and of the quiet grief that comes with loving someone consumed by their own demons.
