Episode 04: Sandra

A note on this episode: this interview deals with topics of suicidal ideation, sexual assault, drug abuse, death, and other topics that might be disturbing to listeners.

While Mexico is a wonderful place, the stories of misfortune aren’t made up. And sometimes the myth of the ultra close Mexican family doesn’t stand up in real life. So what happens when everything breaks down, and a teenager is released into a country she doesn’t know, unprotected?

Today, we talk to Sandra, who went through a harrowing return to Mexico. It’s a story of everything that go wrong for someone returning to the country, but it’s also a story of perseverance and an amazing amount of growth and forgiveness.
