However that may be, that will always be my goal, and I think I have that, like I have that foundation to do that, so many followers on Instagram like I have that reach to really make that difference.
Imagine growing up in the spotlight, battling addiction, and still finding the strength to become a role model. That's exactly what Leah Messer, star of Teen Mom 2, shares in this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down'. Host Jason LaChance dives into Leah's candid recounting of her journey through opioid addiction, failed marriages, and moments of deep despair, including contemplating suicide and dealing with a secret abortion she initially described as a miscarriage on MTV.
Leah’s story is a raw testament to resilience and hope. She opens up about navigating codependent relationships and the challenges of raising three daughters, including twins and one with muscular dystrophy. The pressures of public life only added to her struggles, making her journey to sobriety even more remarkable. Leah discusses how her own sexual trauma and family history of addiction shaped her path and led her to write her memoir, 'Hope, Grace & Faith'.
She also highlights the importance of self-love, establishing boundaries after trauma, and breaking the stigma around addiction treatment. Boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu have become her outlets for finding discipline and strength. Leah uses her platform to inspire others, aiming to make a difference with her story. Her message is clear: no matter how dark things get, there's always a way to find hope and become a beacon for others.
