I should be dead or in prison.

But instead, I’m here with a mic in my hand and God in my heart, sharing the story of how He dragged me out of the criminal justice system, helped me heal from the pain that had landed me there, & showed me how to rebuild my life from scratch.

This is my testimony. My reminder that no matter how messy your past is, God can use it. And He can use you.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

✨ What rock bottom actually looked and felt like for me in 2019

✨ The shame, bitterness, and self-hate that kept me stuck in cycles of jail, addiction, and chaos

✨ The exact moment I felt God’s peace for the first time (it felt like I had popped a Xanax)

✨ How He used jail (yep, jail) as the miracle that pulled me out of the streets

✨ Why asking God to “fix your life” doesn’t work — and what to ask Him to change instead

✨ How I got sober, lost 80 pounds, rebuilt my family relationships, and learned to forgive myself

✨ The truth about why God will separate you before He elevates you

✨ A reminder for anyone who feels broken, hopeless, or unworthy right now

If you’re in your own rock bottom, or you love someone who is — let this be proof that you’re not too far gone. & that the pain you’re in can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.
