Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470881/fan_mail/new] Kadie Perez grew up off-grid on an Idaho cattle ranch, went from small-town shy to working at Disney, then followed a deep “knowing” she believes came from God to move to Utah with no plan—only faith. What followed was a relationship that began with compassion and connection, but slowly spiraled into addiction, repeated miscarriages, and escalating domestic violence that nearly cost her life. In this raw and powerful conversation, Kadie shares the moment she lost consciousness while being strangled—and the chilling realization that if she didn’t leave, she wouldn’t survive. But what makes her story unforgettable is what happened after: she found her worth, called the police, and later stood in court to speak not only about what was done to her, but about the humanity behind the man who hurt her—asking the judge for a sentence that would discipline him toward freedom rather than destruction. This episode explores trauma, self-worth, boundaries, and faith—not as religion, but as a relationship that helped Kadie reclaim her life. If you’ve ever felt trapped, blamed yourself, or wondered how to start over, this conversation is for you.

From Wrongfully Convicted to Spiritually Unshaken: The BACKBONE of Stacy Wagner

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470881/fan_mail/new] In this powerful and emotional episode, Logan sits down with Stacy Wagner, founder of Backbone Gym and a man whose faith and resilience defied the odds. Stacy shares his harrowing story of being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 16 years in prison for crimes he didn’t commit. Instead of letting bitterness consume him, Stacy leaned into his faith, ultimately using his time in prison to mentor others, teach literacy, and create the acronym and philosophy that would become Backbone — Believing All Can Keep Balance Over Negative Experiences. He opens up about how he stayed true to his values when offered parole in exchange for false admission, his journey of forgiveness after betrayal by family, and the power of choosing to respond rather than react. Stacy also shares how he met his now-wife, started his business, and how God used even the darkest places to create purpose. This is more than a story of injustice — it’s a masterclass in faith, integrity, and emotional maturity
