    241. The Lie That Became True
    Mar 25 2025

    Kendra originally joined me to tell us about the depths of a drug addiction that no one in her current life knows about. It was really bad. She got into a lot of shady situations and she and her partner narrowly escaped death and avoided prison. It’s a riveting story for sure. But during the course of the interview, another, perhaps bigger secret emerged, and that’s what I want you to listen for today. It’s a profound secret about her daughter which tested the love of her partner. Which secret will you think had the greater chance of upending Kendra’s entire world?
