Before Lauren Sisler was an Emmy award-winning ESPN sideline reporter, she was an 18-year-old in her dorm room when she found out that her parents had died just hours of each other due to a hidden battle with opioids.

When her world came crashing down, the next decade became a wrestling match with the truth. In this episode, she’s going to share her story & unpack her thoughts on legacy, shame & identity for what you’re sure to find as a more relatable American experience.

We talk about how her parents secret financial problems & prescription drug addiction led to compartmentalized identities, the pain of truth vs the pain of denial & how shame & grief can create a confusing mess.
