Rebecca Kelly-Manders is a child of divorce. She survived growing up with a functioning alcoholic, joined the military where she wasn’t the greatest soldier (her words, not mine), and has had a mark left on her by the criminal justice system. She’s built a life of service through her own recovery from addiction and sharing her skills as a chef. We talk about that and more on season one’s final episode.

Guest on this episode

I always start these kinds of paragraphs with professional accomplishments, but really I’m just a human in the world trying to move through it as carefully as possible, helping as many people as I can and harming as few as possible. I am a devoted partner, Mets fan, and pet parent, I make a mean burger and I have two felonies. You get to decide what’s important, I already know.
