In episode 6, I’m speaking with Stacey Dorenfeld: storyteller, survivor, and author of the upcoming book Kosher Crack. In this interview, Stacey shares her story of growing up in a seemingly perfect Orthodox household, yet one filled with the secrets of crack cocaine, prostitution, addiction, and dysfunction. Stacey believes that rising up through the cracks is possible, no matter where you are or what you’ve been through. We talk:

• The facade of picture perfect

• Best kept secrets

• Self-worth & identity

• Abandonment wounds

• Forgiveness for yourself

• Resilience & grit

• Wanting to break free

• Stacey’s secret for swatting away negative thoughts
