Portia Louder joins Steve to talk about her addiction to opiates and time in Federal Prison. Her denial about what she was doing in the Real Estate World that got her thrown into jail before she ever plead guilty. County jail was hell as she was forced to detox from a large opiate addiction that literally took her to the precipice of losing her mind. After pleading guilty and spending over a year in prison she still was in denial about her actions. It wasn't until she was transferred to a prison in Minnesota that she started to look inward and realize that where she was, the people she hurt were a direct result of her actions and hers alone. The Freedom she found once she was able to take ownership started not only to impact her life, but the lives of inmates and their families. She wrote programs for the prison and just recently released her book Living Louder - A compassionate Journey through Federal PrisonHer book is now on more than 500,000 ipads in Federal prisons across the country impacting the lives of thousands and thousands of inmates.
