Ep. 4 The Crime Scene That Sparked a Fight Against Generational Addiction with Kacia Warren
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A family home became a crime scene. What followed wasn’t just grief it was a reckoning. In this deeply personal conversation, Kacia Warren shares how losing her sister to a devastating combination of prescription medication and fentanyl forced her to confront the generational patterns of trauma and addiction that had shaped her family for decades. What began as unimaginable loss became the catalyst for a powerful mission: to break the cycle once and for all.
Kacia opens up about growing up around alcoholism, navigating stigma after her sister’s death, and the emotional toll of silence within families struggling with addiction. She speaks candidly about fentanyl, advocacy, and the courage it takes to tell the truth even when others would rather keep it hidden. This episode is not just about loss. It’s about resilience, accountability, and what happens when someone decides the cycle ends with them.
