Izzy is back on the F The Stigma podcast for a follow-up after our first interview in 2022. She opens up about her relapse, the challenges she faced, and how she felt sex work was her only way to survive. She shares how getting baptized and embracing Christianity completely changed her life. Now sober, Izzy has left addiction and sex work behind and has even published a poetry book.

Fuck the Stigma is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes people shouldn’t be judged or labeled based on their mental health status. Whether you are struggling with an addiction or have been taking meds for a diagnosis, our community doesn’t judge and seeks to collectively end the stigma around mental health.

Our mission is to normalize mental health and mental illness as widespread, treatable, and acceptable. We do this by providing useful resources, improving access to services for those who need help, sharing stories, and building a community of young people who all agree…
