Listen Later

In this raw and unflinching episode, Stacy D steps into the mic to share her story of survival, addiction, and radical recovery. Born into a home where both parents battled active addiction, Stacy grew up in a world of chaos—no heat, no water, no safety. By age 15, she was a mother. By 22, she was arrested for manufacturing meth. What followed was a decade of loss, trauma, and self-destruction: custody battles, sexual violence, selling her body to survive, and a near-fatal shooting by a drug dealer.

But this isn’t just a story about pain—it’s about power. Stacy takes us through her turning point in 2021, when her husband’s recovery inspired her to seek help. From Isaiah House to Oxford House, from relapse to redemption, she fought her way back. Today, she’s a certified Peer Support Specialist and Professional Recovery Coach, working in treatment and rebuilding her life with fierce honesty and spiritual clarity.
This episode dives deep into:
•  Generational addiction and the impact of growing up in chaos
•  The realities of trauma, incarceration, and relapse
•  Recovery as rebellion—and the power of community, sponsorship, and spiritual growth
•  What it means to reclaim your story and help others do the same
Stacy doesn’t hold back—and neither do we. If you’ve ever felt like you were born into the fire, this episode is for you
