On this episode, I am joined by Carrie Valentin. We discuss her experience with finding out that her young daughter had a form of cancer, called Wilms, that spread from her kidney to her lungs. Thankfully, Sybil is currently in remission. We discuss the trauma that cancer caused in both her life and the ripple effect it had on her family. We discuss her decision to divorce her husband and how they made a conscious effort for it to end up being a positive for their family. We also talk about Carrie's drinking and how she wouldn't label it alcoholism but that it did become a coping mechanism for her during the hard times. She is currently working on sobriety and working through both the trauma of thinking that she was going to lose her daughter as well as trauma carried forward from childhood.
