Raised inside a strict religious home with a mother potentially battling undiagnosed mental illness, Kloee learned early how to hide. She believed deeply in love and goodness but found herself pulled into a world of drugs, toxic relationships, and spiraling self-destruction. Torn between purity and recklessness, belief and rebellion, Kloee’s life became a collision of extremes.
In this fearless and often disorienting conversation, Kloee opens up about being shaped - carved by chaos. From tearing apart a car with friends just to feel something, to waking up in a haze of addiction and lost time, her story doesn’t end with a neat recovery arc. She’s still trying. Still wild, still self-aware and still deeply in it. What she offers isn’t a full transformation story (but then none of them ever are) it’s a survival story. And a brutally honest reflection on what it means to be human when you’ve seen both the light and the dark in yourself, and you’re still trying to figure out what to do with both.
If you’ve ever felt out of control or like self-awareness isn’t enough to save you, Kloee’s story may speak to the darkest messiest parts of your heart and remind you there is light in the darkeness. You are not alone.
