The Raw Truth About Addiction and Coming Back | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 82

What does rock bottom really look like?

In this Raw Minds Podcast episode Erick sits down with Karyn Ward, a recovery leader who went from addiction, prison, and losing everything to helping others rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Karyn shares her raw story. From losing children, battling addiction, and living a life of crime, to hitting rock bottom and choosing a different path.

This is not theory. This is lived experience.

She now leads sober living homes, helps people stay clean, and builds real systems that give people a second chance at life.

This conversation breaks down what addiction actually takes from you, why most people relapse, and what it really takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.

If you have ever felt lost, stuck, or like you are fighting your way back alone, this episode matters.
