How Did This Happen? - The Unseen Path to Fentanyl


Listen Later

How does it happen?

How does a bright, kind, creative kid end up lost in addiction? How does one pill — just one — steal an entire future?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I walk you through Logan’s story — from his childhood ADHD diagnosis and early medication, to the influence of peers, the illusion of control, and the moment fentanyl entered the picture. This isn’t a cautionary tale — it’s a wake-up call.

We talk about what we didn’t see, what we wish we had known, and what every parent, teacher, and caregiver needs to understand about the way substance use disorder takes hold — often quietly, and long before the overdose.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How did this happen?” — this episode is for you.

🕯️ For Logan. For your loved one. For anyone who still has a chance.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes themes of addiction, grief, and fentanyl poisoning. Please listen with care.
