How much of your happiness is tied up in habits that no longer serve you? Brandi’s parents divorced three times, which made her teenage years hard. Back then, she turned to marijuana to cope. As she got older, she also struggled in her relationships, with both of her marriages ending because of problems with alcohol and emotional distance. Her turning point came when her third husband admitted to cheating while drunk. After going through a period of depression, Brandi met her doctor who recommended that she read This Naked Mind.
