Summary

Lauren Sisler’s journey of overcoming the shame of losing her parents to opioid addiction hasn’t been easy, but she has allowed it to give her purpose and help her find resilience. In her new book Shatterproof the ESPN sideline reporter details how her mother and father died within hours of each other, victims of their hidden battle with prescription drug addiction. Today we're talking about her path to writing that book and letting go of the shame of her parents' story so that she can honor their memories. A few things we cover in this episode: Your story is what ultimately helps you find purpose. It's important to own every single chapter of your life. The journey of healing is not linear. Shame can prevent us from asking important questions. Stories have the power to inspire and create change. We often hide our struggles to fit societal norms. Finding purpose can come from sharing our pain. Order SHATTERPROOF here. Follow Lauren on Instagram here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
