If you're still inactive and you think about getting clean, you've got to do it for yourself. Don't do it for anyone else. If you've got kids and you've lost them to the system, prove to the system that you're worth it and you're worth having your kids back in your life.
Ever felt like life's challenges are too much to handle? Shannon's story might change your perspective. Growing up in Shellharbour, NSW, Shannon faced a whirlwind of trauma and addiction from a young age. Losing her nan at 12, she turned to drugs by 15, seeking solace in the chaos. Her journey hit its lowest point at 27 when she entered a detox program, only to relapse later. But when she discovered she was pregnant in 2018, things began to shift.
She embraced motherhood and fought hard to stay clean, though the struggle was far from over. By 2022, Shannon hit rock bottom again but found strength through her cousin, who introduced her to recovery. In this episode of the 'KICK THE SH!T PODCAST', host Danny Shannon sits down with Shannon to explore her tumultuous path. They dive into her battles with mental health, eating disorders, and the immense pressure of parenting while fighting addiction.
Shannon's raw honesty and unwavering determination to prioritize her well-being and become a beacon for others in similar situations make this episode a must-listen. It's a story of falling, getting up, and finding hope in the darkest times.
