In this episode, I walk you through how I actually got here — the story behind the woman who saved my life, the power of mentorship, and the moment everything changed for me. I share what it looked like to hit rock bottom, how honesty and grace pulled me out, and why I believe showing up, giving a shit, and telling the truth is the most powerful form of service we have.

 Inside this episode:

• How I ended up in a place where I couldn’t stop getting high — and the moment I stopped trying to manage it
• The story of the woman who taught me radical responsibility and mentored me into sobriety
• What it means to be the woman who sets the boundary — not just the one who crosses them
• How she walked me through 150 hours of writing down every resentment, fear, and relationship I had
• Why mentorship is the most unrelatable thing I’ve ever done
• The exact sentence that made me stop bullshitting myself
• How this podcast is my way of putting the gift she gave me to good use
• Why being “out of touch” just means you’re in touch with something greater
• What service actually is: show up, give a shit, tell the truth
