How My Brothers Death Led To A Crippling M3th & Cr4ck Addiction With A Registered S3x Offender | Ep 115

In this raw, unflinching conversation, Louis sits down with Mya Kiskaden to walk through a life shaped by trauma, survival, and the long shadow of addiction. Mya opens up about being sexually assaulted by her grandfather at a young age and how that early violence set her on a destructive path marked by daily drinking as a teenager and spiraling substance use. She shares the physical and emotional toll of becoming a mother far too young, enduring serious health complications, multiple surgeries during pregnancy, and the heartbreak of losing a baby years later. The loss of her brother to an overdose becomes a breaking point, followed by prescriptions that turned into dependence, a failed marriage, and a descent into depression and addiction. Mya recounts relationships with addicts and abusers, being assaulted while under the influence, chasing chaos through dating apps, and sinking deeper into cocaine, acid, crack, and meth. She describes what overdoses look like, what constant use does to the body and mind, and how love and loyalty kept her tied to a violent partner who drank heavily, beat her, trafficked her for drug money, and was later revealed to be a registered sex offender. Through stories of abuse, sleepless weeks, hospital beds, and using even on the edge of major surgery, Mya paints a dark portrait of how grief, trauma, and addiction fed each other. This episode is not easy to hear, but it is brutally honest, a testimony to how deep the fall can be and what it takes to claw your way back toward sobriety and survival.
