In this powerful episode Louis and Aaron sit down with Miriah Crissinger — a woman who has lived through trauma, addiction, profound loss, and the long, grueling road to healing.Miriah's childhood was anything but typical. Raised in a home marked by chaos, her earliest memories are woven with pain and confusion.

Her mother, trapped in the grip of addiction, created an environment of emotional turmoil, where safety and stability were hard to come by. The very person meant to nurture and protect her was instead consumed by her own battles, leaving Miriah to grow up far too fast.

As she entered her teenage years, the unresolved trauma and emotional scars began to manifest. Searching for escape and understanding in all the wrong places, Miriah found herself following the same path as her mother. What began as experimentation turned into dependency, and soon, her mother became more than just a parent — she became her using partner, her sidekick in self-destruction. The line between mother and friend, protector and peer, was blurred beyond recognition.

But Miriah’s story doesn’t stop there. Her descent into addiction came with heavy losses. Perhaps the most heartbreaking was losing the love of her life — her soulmate — to an overdose. The grief was unimaginable. The pain, suffocating. She was left to navigate a world that no longer felt like home, trapped in a cycle of guilt, loss, and addiction.

For years, Miriah battled her demons. But deep down, a spark remained — a part of her that wanted more, that knew this couldn’t be the end. That spark became a flame, and eventually, the fire that fueled her fight to get clean.

Today, Miriah is sober. Her journey is far from over, but she is choosing healing every single day. She’s learning to live with the pain, to make peace with her past, and to rebuild her life step by step. Her story is raw, real, and unapologetically honest — a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of redemption.By sharing her journey, Miriah hopes to be a voice for others who feel voiceless, and a light for those still lost in the dark. If you or someone you love is struggling, let this video remind you: no matter how far you've fallen, there is always a way back.
