What It’s Like Giving Birth in Prison as a Heroin Addict | Ep 134
from Get a Grip Podcast · host Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes
In this powerful episode, Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes sit down with Aysha Clever for a raw and deeply moving conversation about trauma, addiction, loss, and redemption.Aysha opens up about a childhood shaped by domestic violence and instability — a home where fear was normal and survival came before everything else. Growing up in chaos left scars that followed her into adolescence, and like so many who carry unresolved pain, she found herself turning to drugs at a young age. What began as an escape quickly became a battle for her life.As addiction tightened its grip, Aysha watched the unthinkable happen over and over again. Friends she grew up with. People she used with. People she loved. One by one, she saw them fall to the disease of addiction. Funerals became familiar. Grief became routine. And survivor’s guilt became heavy.But Aysha’s story doesn’t end in tragedy.Today, she stands on the other side of the darkness — not just sober, but transformed. Instead of being another statistic, she made the decision to fight back. Now, Aysha dedicates her life to helping others who are trapped in the same cycle she once lived in. She speaks hope into the hopeless, strength into the broken, and reminds people that their past does not have to define their future.This episode is about more than addiction — it’s about generational trauma, resilience, and what it truly means to heal. Aysha’s honesty is powerful, her courage undeniable, and her mission inspiring.If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation is proof that recovery is possible — and that even after witnessing so much loss, you can still choose to become a light for others.Don’t miss this unforgettable episode.🔥 Expect emotion.
