Brandi Bennefield is a tattoo artist from Alberta Canada who has created a following on social media sharing her life stories. Many of these stories stem from the chaos and dysfunction of growing up with parents in active addiction. In today’s episode we discuss:
- Brandi’s childhood and the ways she coped
- Choosing sanity over family
- Holding yourself hostage and letting go of that mindset
- Becoming a healthy, successful person despite the hardships
- The sad reality that some people will choose not to get better
- Brandi reconnecting with her dad after he got sober, an example that it is possible for people to grow and change.
