My First Heartbreak, Addiction, and Arrest [Life Story Part 2]

This is part two of my life story — and it's the chapter I've never shared this openly before.

In this episode I take you through leaving my mother's home to move in with my father, whose addiction shaped everything about the environment I grew up in. I share my introduction to drugs at thirteen, how I started selling to support my habit, my first real relationship and the heartbreak that sent me into a spiral, and how by sixteen I was selling hundreds of pills a week and making thousands of dollars — until the night I was robbed at gunpoint and nearly beaten to death, and what followed after that.

This one is heavy. But it's real. And if you've been with me since the beginning, this is where a lot of what I teach started to take shape — even though I couldn't see it yet.
