On this episode of The Storyworth Podcast, Krista talks to Alicia and Chelsea Daniel, mother and daughter, about a moment in their lives when everything changed. They discuss how a devastating house fire when Chelsea was a child helped Alicia decide to forge a new, more creative path in life. Below, Alicia describes what it was like seeing her house in the immediate aftermath of the fire.
What was really devastating though, was after the fire was over, I had to walk or go back to the home with the insurance company and the house was a wreck. And I walked up the stairs into what was our primary bedroom and when I opened the door, you could just see outside. So I opened the door, and the whole wall was gone.
And I remember just like, I broke down. I broke down completely. That event was definitely one of the most tragic events that I've had in my life.
