I Almost Lost Everything: A Mother’s Truth About Opioid Addiction | A Conversation with Jessica Summers

What begins as a medical intervention during childbirth quietly unfolds into something far more complex. In this intimate conversation, Jessica Summers shares how complications during labor led to a cascade of prescribed medications - setting in motion a pharmaceutical loop that gradually pulled her away from herself, her marriage, and her family. What followed was not a single breaking point, but a slow unraveling: the collapse of a relationship, the loss of stability, periods of homelessness, and eventual reliance on street drugs. Beneath the surface of addiction, Jessica discovered something deeper - unhealed parts of herself asking to be seen, understood, and reclaimed. This episode is not about blame or shock. It’s about honesty. About how systems, trauma, and unspoken pain can converge, and how truth, when faced directly, can become a doorway rather than an ending. A conversation about motherhood, survival, and the courage it takes to heal what was once left untouched. #motherhood #addiction #pharma #honesty #truth
