Jesse Money, daughter of rock icon Eddie Money, opens up about the immense pressure of growing up in the shadow of a legend and how that environment fueled a deep struggle with addiction. She shares the raw reality of touring life, the identity crisis of being "Eddie Money's daughter," and how she used alcohol and drugs to embody a rock star persona she thought she needed to be. The conversation delves into the devastating impact of her father's death, which sent her into a spiral of grief where suicidal thoughts and near-fatal overdoses became her reality.

This episode is a powerful journey through loss and recovery. Jesse reveals the turning point that led her to sobriety and how she is now channeling her pain into purpose. She talks about transforming voice memos recorded during her darkest moments of addiction into powerful songs, the importance of a strong support system and international Zoom meetings, and her mission to help others by sharing her story. Hear her perform a moving original song, "Legacy," and discover how she is learning to honor her father's memory while finally living for herself.
