In this episode of Knockin' Doorz Down, Jason LaChance sits down with Mayra Dias Gomes, a Brazilian author, actress, and professional wrestler. Mayra shares her compelling journey from a rebellious teenager huffing aerosol deodorant to finding her path to sobriety and success.
Growing up in a family steeped in entertainment, with her father being a renowned writer and her mother an actress, Mayra had a childhood filled with creativity and support until the tragic loss of her father at age 11. This traumatic event marked the beginning of her struggle with addiction and rebellion. Mayra candidly discusses how she turned to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism during her teenage years, seeking solace in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle she idolised.
She reflects on the influence of rock stars and how their sobriety journeys have now become a source of inspiration for her own recovery. The conversation delves into her experiences in the wrestling world, her time working with Billy Corgan, and the personal battles she faced along the way. Jason and Mayra's discussion is peppered with humour, nostalgia for their favourite rock bands, and heartfelt moments of vulnerability.
