From Pregnant Teen to Addicted Stripper: Her Recovery Story | Ep 90
from Get a Grip Podcast · host Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes
In this gripping and emotional episode, hosts Louis and Aaron sit down with Kaytie Adams, a woman whose life has been a rollercoaster of heartbreak, addiction, and redemption. Kaytie’s story begins in childhood, when her mother left her between the ages of four and five — a moment that would shape the rest of her life. Left in the care of her father, a police officer, Kaytie grew up in a home filled with structure and discipline, but also with deep emotional scars from abandonment and confusion. As she got older, life took a darker turn. What started as a tense custody battle spiraled into emotional turmoil, chaos, and rebellion. Kaytie’s pain found its outlet in addiction, and she began using substances to fill the void left behind by years of instability and loss. Before long, she found herself caught in a world she never imagined — stripping to survive and chasing highs that only dragged her further down.The lifestyle that came with dancing only intensified her addiction. Nights blurred into mornings, and soon Kaytie was IV-using any drug she could get her hands on. Her world revolved around the next fix, and in the depths of her addiction, she even found herself pushing away the people who mattered most — including her own children. The woman who once dreamed of a normal, loving life was now fighting demons she couldn’t control.But this story doesn’t end there. After years of struggle, heartbreak, and self-destruction, Kaytie made the brave decision to change. She faced her addiction head-on, endured the pain of withdrawal, and began the long road to recovery. Today, she’s clean, healthy, and living a life she once thought was impossible. She’s reunited with one of her children, building a beautiful, stable, and loving life — one grounded in gratitude, honesty, and hope.In this episode, Kaytie opens up about the reality of her past — the loneliness of childhood, the chaos of addiction, the darkness of the strip club scene, and the strength it took to climb her way back.
