In the second episode of the Monomyth Diaries, Mandi shares her transformative journey of recovery and self-discovery. After discussing her ordinary life in the first episode, Mandi now takes us through her experiences in Al-Anon, a program for those affected by someone else’s alcoholism. 

Mandi shares her first encounter with unconditional love from her sponsor and her initial steps towards honesty, humility, and self-improvement. She discusses how she began to self-reflect, own her behavior, learn about the kind of person she wanted to be, and acquire tools to mitigate effects of alcoholism. 

Listen as Mandi recounts the "Christmas disaster," a turning point where she discovered her husband's infidelities and abuse, and how the support from Al-Anon gave her the courage to become a single mom.

This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability, personal growth, and the strength found in community support. Join us as Mandi’s journey of healing and ---transformation continues to unfold, offering hope and inspiration to all who listen.---------
