Episode Synopsis

This episode is a raw and intimate podcast of the deeply personal recovery journey of Chase. Told through his voice and the unwavering perspective of his sister, Shye, this podcast goes beyond the surface of addiction to explore the emotional wreckage left in its place and the slow, painful path toward healing. From the early warning signs and moments of denial to the rock-bottom experiences that shook his family to the core. Shye provides honest, heartfelt insight into what it’s like to love someone struggling with addiction. Through their voices, listeners witness not just the toll addiction takes on the person suffering, but the ripple effects it sends through family, friendships, and self-identity. This isn’t a story about perfection or quick fixes but resilience, vulnerability, and the complex, often messy love that binds people together through even the darkest times. Whether you’re someone in recovery, a family member trying to understand, or someone seeking a human story of struggle and strength, this podcast offers a brutally honest look into what it truly means to rebuild after everything feels lost.
