Christmas Day, a time traditionally filled with joy and celebration, often masks a harsher reality for many\\u2014myself included. In this episode, I lay bare the striking duality of the festive season against the backdrop of my own struggle with addiction, depression, and the heartache of estranged relationships with my ten children. But as I speak from the heart, it\'s not just a tale of sorrow; it\'s a testament to unyielding love and the relentless pursuit of happiness within ourselves.

Within the safe space of our conversation, the themes of love and forgiveness take center stage. My story is one of hitting rock bottom, confronting suicide attempts, navigating the rocky terrain of failed relationships, and ultimately, embarking on a path to recovery that began in 2007. I unfold the lessons that life has tossed my way, revealing how forgiveness isn\'t just about others\\u2014it\'s a salve for our own souls, enabling us to thrive in the here and now, no matter the emotional turmoil that holidays and significant dates might stir within us.

I wrap up the episode with a candid look at the odyssey to self-love and the transformative power it wields. Breaking free from the chains of self-loathing and addiction starts with recognizing one\'s inherent worth and taking decisive steps towards change. The power to shape our destiny lies within each of us, and I extend a heartfelt call to action: to harness our individual talents and experiences in service to others, to live authentically and joyously, as we all deserve. Join me on this journey toward an ultimate life\\u2014one of love, prosperity, and unbridled joy.
