Today’s episode is a raw, honest conversation with someone I love deeply—because I truly believe this kind of truth can save lives. I sit down with Jorid, someone I’ve known since she was seven. We talk about growing up in an unstable home, carrying trauma in silence, the devastation of not being believed, and how pain can spiral into rebellion and substance abuse. We also talk about guilt, shame, faith, and the moments that bring you back from the edge—plus what it teaches you to witness young lives lost too soon.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in a pit and wondered if it will ever get better. I want you to hear this: you’re not alone, and this too shall pass. We end on a reminder that has carried us through: “Even the worst of my mistakes are miracles in the making.”
