In this episode, I chat with my friend McKel (@mckelwahlstrom) about several things. First we started out talking about how she found out that her dad was actually her step-dad. She later did find her biological father and several siblings. McKel shares about a very toxic and emotionally abusive relationship she was in. She was pregnant before marriage and once she did marry, she became a Military wife. McKel shares the struggles that come along with that. She also gets into her anxiety and lastly, a miscarriage she suffered. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

This quote came from the part in the episode where she was sharing how her sister's husband was controlling her pill intake. . In this episode, I chat with Michelle (@michellestandley) about the murder of her sister. Michelle feels like the news stations did not do a good job of portraying who Melanie really was. She was more than just a drug addict. Michelle shares how they did their own detective work because the cops weren’t taking the situation too seriously until a couple months after they had reported her missing. You’ll hear the sad truth of what really happened. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

How many times have you felt this way? I know I've had my fair share of these feelings. Can it get any worse? How could it possibly be any worse than it is right now? I am here to tell you that it's usually worse before it's better. But it does get better! Don't give up! Power through the pain. Two quotes I love relating to this are 1: "in the end, it will be okay. If it's not okay, then it's not the end." And 2: "you can't have a rainbow without the rain." . In this episode, I chat with one of my funniest friends ever, Dakota (@kota_tob). We chat about how she is a young mom of three littles, 6 and under. Her experience with PPD (postpartum depression) which actually led to a diagnosis of RDD (recurrent depressive disorder) and from there, led to an (almost) attempted suicide. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 You can listen to this episode on any major podcast platform, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Stitcher, Podcast Addicts app and TuneIn. 🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻🖤 If you have your own story to tell, send me a DM or email (hardknockspod@gmail) or visit the website - ourhardknocks.com.

Running a podcast does cost money!

I am doing this in what little spare time I have. This is something I am super passionate about, so I don't mind doing it out of pocket. But if you wanted to help out with some costs, it would be so appreciated! Money is spent on buying and hosting this website, recording and publishing equipment, plus I give each guest a little present as a THANK YOU from all of us for sharing their heart.
