Authenticity - a podcast by Mel and Kel

Twenty-three episodes in and this, by far, may be too intense for some listeners.

Following last week's episode on "fake happy," Mel & Kel had every intention to discuss "authentic happiness" this week.  

Then life took over. 

On this episode, Kel opens her heart and her life in a way that will impact any parent listening who has a child battling substance abuse. 

FACT: As of 2018, over 20 million people in the US suffer from substance abuse disorders.

And yet very few people talk about it. It's private. It's personal. It stirs up feelings of failure, disappointment, embarrassment, and hopelessness.

Mel & Kel heavily weighed the pros and cons in sharing this episode.

 Kel's honesty and personal pain are intense - but Kel has a message, and that's what she is wanting to share. 

You're not alone. 

Help is available. 

Don't ever lose hope. 

 This week's podcast is for the parent who knows this same heartbreak all too well.
