This episode comes with a trigger warning. We talk about alcoholism, plus mental and physical abuse (which does involve a child), so listener discretion is advised.

We can’t always avoid life’s curveballs, but we can prepare ourselves to handle them with resilience and clarity.

This week, Sangeeta joins Sarah to talk about navigating life’s inevitable challenges. She opens up about her own personal experiences, what threw her off course, how she coped, and the steps she took to get back on track. Together, they explore how to get comfortable with discomfort and share practical strategies to help you move forward when life doesn’t go as planned.
