“I was born in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, but I later spent the majority of my adolescence and early adulthood in Johannesburg. This would be where my career in entertainment would ultimately begin - I have hosted numerous radio shows, done voice work for commercials and TV promos and I’ve begun a podcast, which surprisingly enough enjoys great response overseas

My life of crime, violence, meaningless sex and substance abuse ensued.. for close to 20 years. In and out of handcuffs, rehab, penthouse suites.. to homeless shelters. A roller coaster of resentment, abandonment issues, hatred, rage, love of money and drug and alcohol abuse.

I never got arrested or got into fights or woke up on the tarmac at the Lubbock Airport with one boot missing and a Pez dispenser in my pocket. Which is good because I’m fragile. My experience as a drunk was kind of like a hockey game. 

Christy and Nichole have a very unique story for us. They are regular folks (a mom and daughter), but with a story that is both heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.

I grew up out in the country outside of Houston. As I reached my teen years, I didn’t feel like I fit in with my family and wanted to be somewhere else. Wanting to be somewhere else became a pattern for me. Alcohol let me deal with that. When I was drinking, I was somewhere else.
