Have you ever felt torn between the life you show and the life you hide? Megan, a devoted nurse and mom, lived a double life that tore her apart. She was at the top of her game during the week, but on her days off, she would binge drink. After a three-day binge during the holidays, Megan hit rock bottom. Ashamed that she couldn't be present for her kids, she knew something had to change. She found the courage to ask for help, made a promise to her nine-year-old daughter, and hasn’t looked back since. In this episode, Megan opens up about her journey from feeling trapped in a double life to living a more fulfilled life where she’s fully present for herself and her children.
