No glamorizing, just truth.

Katrina shares what it’s like losing the father of her son to an overdose, the signs leading up to it, and what grief looks like when you still have to keep living.

We talk about what it really means to break the chain of addiction, in your mind, your habits, your relationships, and your family line. We talk about the 2% that make it out of severe addiction and the small, daily decisions that compound into a completely different life. If you’ve ever said “I’m not going out like that,” this episode is for you.
