 What do you do when the person you trust most is the one who hands you the poison? In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee opens up about something she’s been holding onto for a long time. She shares a moment that shifted everything: when someone she loved and trusted most introduced her to drugs during one of the hardest seasons of her life. Her mom was dying, emotions were heavy, and instead of helping her cope, her husband handed her something to numb the pain. She said yes, but the question that still lingers is why he offered it in the first place. Kelly talks through all the layers that came after. From grieving her mother and picking up her ashes alone, to feeling completely abandoned by the one person who should have stood by her. She reflects on how that time affected her marriage, her mental health, and even her business. It’s honest, emotional, and full of the kind of reflection that many people are afraid to say out loud. If you’ve ever trusted someone who let you down or felt overwhelmed by heartbreak and confusion, this episode will speak to you. Kelly’s story is proof that healing begins when you speak the truth, even when it hurts. Come listen and feel a little less alone. Key Takeaways People can weaponize your pain while claiming to love you Numbing your emotions delays healing but never erases the truth Trust without protection isn’t trust, it’s exposure Speaking the truth, even when it’s ugly, is an act of self-respect You’re allowed to outgrow the version of you that tolerated pain In This Episode (00:01) Introduction and purpose of the episode (01:22) Background: family and drug exposure (02:25) Cocaine introduction by husband (03:51) Struggling with betrayal and trust (05:25) Regret and grieving her mother (06:39) Abandonment during grief (07:47) Coping and continued drug use (08:47) Lingering anger and lack of accountability (10:02) Reflection on trust and leadership (11:22) Loss, trauma, and medical emergency (12:35) Codependency and childhood trauma (13:50) Toxic relationships and family dynamics (15:11) Struggles with trust and setting boundaries (16:53) Betrayal and public exposure (19:15) Consequences and unconditional love (21:40) Learning from red flags and heartache (22:48) Healing, growth, and new traumas (25:07) Conclusion and call to action Notable Quotes (04:38) "Not all love means safety.
