About this listen

At just 13 years old, she was smoking crack, serving time in prison, and spiralling into addiction. By 19, she was injecting heroin, caught in a cycle of crime, trauma, and self-destruction. For years, nothing could stop her—not prison, not losing everything, not even the near-death experiences.


In this episode, she shares her unfiltered story of addiction, survival, and the painful road to recovery. From growing up in a stable home to experiencing trauma that sent her down a dark path, we explore what really fuels addiction and why breaking free is so difficult.


Topics Covered:

• The early years – how addiction starts younger than you think

• The brutal truth about crack, heroin, and the cycle of crime

• Prison at 13 – what happens when the system fails you

• How trauma fuels addiction and keeps people stuck

• The moment everything changed – choosing recovery over destruction

• Life after addiction – what it really takes to stay clean


This is a raw, eye-opening conversation that sheds light on addiction, trauma, and the fight to rebuild a life that once seemed lost.
