Mile 13: Nikki MacCallum's Marathon of Healing and Connection
“I ran a marathon as a hail mary pass to him. And he got a tanning discount with his new gym membership. You'd think I could get a little help here.”
Picture yourself at the halfway point of a marathon, feeling the weight of every step. In this episode, Nikki MacCallum shares her pivotal experiences during Mile 13 of the Providence Marathon. It’s more than just a physical challenge; it’s a metaphor for her journey through addiction and her efforts to reconnect with her father, a recovering alcoholic.

Narrated by Nikki herself, and featuring voices like Dina Laura (Mom), Patrick McCartney (Dad), Kristen Cook (Charlotte), Anne Nathan (Aunt Moira), and Rachel Lenihan (Aunt Donna), this episode weaves personal anecdotes with broader reflections on healing. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting a loved one, Nikki's narrative offers a heartfelt look at the power of perseverance and the importance of communication. This episode is a testament to finding strength in vulnerability and the relentless pursuit of connection.
