In this raw and emotional episode, Kristina Guerrero dives deep into one of the most pivotal chapters of her life.

Kristina opens up about growing up with a father who was charismatic and loving when sober but volatile and unpredictable when drunk. She recounts vivid childhood memories, from moments of tenderness to traumatic nights fleeing the house during violent outbursts. She shares how she learned to compartmentalize her pain, locking it away in hidden “boxes” that would later influence her own struggles with alcohol.

As Kristina reflects on her father’s death and funeral, she explores the complicated grief of mourning not only the man he was, but the relationship she never got to have. She candidly grapples with the haunting realization that despite all she knew about her father’s addiction, she still found herself following a similar path.

Through laughter, vulnerability, and powerful storytelling, Kristina examines how generational trauma, childhood wounds, and hidden shame can echo through our choices—and how facing those truths is essential to healing.

Tune in for an honest look at what it means to untangle the past, redefine family narratives, and forge a new path forward.
