  • Tragic. Beautiful. Necessary

    Words fail me as I try to express how Girl Overboard is impacting my husband and me. Reece, Karen and Pat, we are so grateful for your decision to make this podcast series. You are making sure that Sierra is seen as more than her addiction, and more than her tragic death. This is so necessary if we are ever to move to a better place as a society with respect to how we view addiction. You are putting GOOD out in the world. Thank you for your vulnerability in doing so.

  • Incredible

    Listening to Reece describe her sisters’s journey with addiction through stories and interviews with friends and family, I now understand addiction in new ways. It is profound hearing the ripples of guilt and shame around addiction, and also the grace, forgiveness and love that abound from her family in the midst of such tragic loss. Thank you for the incredible courage to share with us, Reece, Karen and Pat!

  • So relevant

    With great courage Reece, and her interviewees, share a story that is too often stigmatized. The content is raw, honest, powerful and a tribute to a family's love and devotion. Well done Reece! I pray that you have found some benefit from digging deep and processing, and being willing to share with the rest of us.
