Jen Cutting's Gritty Journey: From Prison Bars to Recovery Stars

I want to be good, so bad, bad desire's all I ever had, and my shadow's getting smaller and smaller, and it's high noon where I stand, shadow's getting smaller and smaller, and it's high noon where I stand.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Jen Cutting, whose story is nothing short of a rollercoaster. In this episode of Dopey, Jen—a YouTuber, ex-addict, ex-convict, and former exotic dancer—shares her raw and unfiltered journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery.
From her first line of blow as a dancer in Florida to giving birth to her only child while behind bars in upstate New York, Jen's tale is both harrowing and inspiring. She opens up about her early days of drug use, which began with a seemingly innocent friendship that quickly spiraled into a dependency on heroin and other substances. Her life took a darker turn when she started dealing drugs, eventually leading to her arrest and imprisonment.
But prison wasn't just a punishment; it was a wake-up call. Jen's experiences behind bars were eye-opening, exposing her to the brutal realities of addiction and its impact on mental health. Despite the odds, Jen found a lifeline in recovery. She emphasizes the crucial role of connection and support in maintaining sobriety, even crediting the Dopey podcast for helping her stay on track.

Jen's story is a testament to the transformative power of recovery and the importance of hope, connection, and support.
