Deep dives
Life in New York vs. Louisiana
The transition from the city life in New York to the slower pace of Louisiana provided a sense of authenticity and connection to real people for the speaker. In New York, the focus was on financial insecurity and always chasing money, while in Louisiana, the speaker found a different perspective on life and let go of material possessions and the pursuit of wealth.
Exploring Heroin and Art

Despite being numb to the impact of drugs at the time, revisiting these photos now elicits a stronger emotional response, highlighting the lasting effects of that period in her life.
Overcoming Rock Bottom Moments

These struggles, including losing a friend to a fentanyl overdose, served as powerful reminders of the dangers of addiction and reinforced the speaker's commitment to maintaining sobriety.
Influence of a Sober Friend
Having been saved by a friend's sobriety journey, the speaker reflects on the profound impact her sober friend had on her life. Despite initial disinterest in attending AA meetings, witnessing her friend's commitment eventually led to a positive change. This supportive and enduring friendship continues to play a pivotal role in the speaker's current journey.
Relationship Journey and Challenges
The discussion delves into the speaker's romantic relationship, revealing a whirlwind beginning, a spontaneous Vegas wedding, and subsequent challenges post-childbirth.
