In this gripping episode, Madalyn sits down with Bunny, the creator of Budget Van Life and a resilient survivor who overcame a years-long meth addiction while living on the road. Bunny shares the harrowing story of how she was first exposed to meth against her will and how her life spiraled into years of painful addiction and delusion while trying to survive in places like Slab City. She details the extreme toll it took on her body and mind—and how a chance encounter with Kratom became the turning point in her journey to reclaim her life.
Bunny opens up about how Kratom, specifically green vein powder, became a powerful tool in her recovery. She used it strategically to manage withdrawal symptoms, chronic pain, and regain the focus needed to function while detoxing. Her story is not only a testament to the plant's potential as a harm-reduction tool but also a call to action for awareness around misinformation, legality, and access. Whether you're someone who's struggled with addiction or simply want to understand how Kratom is changing lives, this episode is raw, real, and deeply inspiring.
